Included in the series are restored prints of classic movies, independent and foreign films, documentaries and short subjects.

The Kid Stays in the Picture, the opening movie, will be introduced by Tearlach Hutcheson, film theorist, who oversees Magnolia Pictures' film exhibition division and teaches at Southern Methodist University. The Kid ... examines the life of Hollywood's legendary Robert Evans. Rated R for language, some violence and sexual images, The Kid ..., the film Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times deems "One of the most honest films ever made about Hollywood," plays Feb. 7th at 6 p.m. & 8 p.m. & Feb. 9th, at 2 p.m. & 4 p.m.
