September Films at the Manship

Leave the X-Men to the megaplex. Each month, the Manship Theatre offers a slate of films, from modern classics to engaging new documentaries and locally-produced stories. Here's what's in store: 

September 8: Common Ground: The highly anticipated sequel to the documentary Kiss the Ground, this journalistic exposé finds its effect in personal stories from those on the front lines of the food movement, laid against the underbelly of money, power, and politics that fuel our struggling food and farm system. 2 pm. $12.50. 

September 25 & 29: Manhattan Short Film Festival: As one of five hundred cities across six continents, Baton Rouge will host screenings at the Manship Theatre of the ten finalists in the 2024 Manhattan Short Film Festival—a format that offers attendees the chance to view, then vote for, their favorite films. And with past finalists having gone on to receive Oscar nominations in the "short film" category, the festival has become known as a breeding ground for the next big thing in film. You be the judge. 7:30 pm Wednesday; 2 pm Sunday.  $13.50.
