Each month, we will screen one movie that was filmed here in Winston-Salem (or in the Piedmont Triad) and hold an informative post-screening conversation. 

Rebecca Clark, The Executive Director of the Piedmont Triad Film Commission (PTFC) will discuss how the PTFC worked to recruit the film, where the film was made, why filming is an important component of Winston-Salem's economic development efforts in creating jobs while boosting the local economy, and how Winston-Salem residents can help get even more film productions here. 

This exclusive and curated monthly screening series by Marketplace Cinemas will feature both major Hollywood Studio Feature Films and quality Independent Features with Short Films.

The first two films to be screened: 

“LEATHERHEADS” 

As Football season ends, it feels fitting to show one of the largest studio films made in Winston-Salem on our big screen. This football comedy was filmed all around our great state in early 2007, including Winston-Salem & Greensboro.  The film stars George Clooney (Micheal Clayton, Ocean’s 11), John Krasinski  (The Office, Jack Ryan) and Renée Zellweger (Bridget Jones Diary, Jerry Maguire). 

“Leatherheads” screens on Sunday, Feb 23rd at 3pm with special guest speaker,  Rebecca Clark - the Executive Director of Piedmont Triad Film Commission.

“ONE AND TWO” 

 Filmed in Forsyth and Surry County in 2014, this fantasy thriller stars recently  Academy Award Nominated, Timothée Chalamet  (Chalamet is currently nominated for playing Bob Dylan in “A Complete Unknown” - The Film is nominated for 8 Academy Awards). The film also stars Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men, The Last Showgirl, Red One). Synopsis: Two siblings with special powers live with their parents behind an impenetrable wall that isolates them from the outside world. 

"One and Two” screens on Sunday, March 16th at 3pm with special guest speaker, Rebecca Clark - the Executive Director of Piedmont Triad Film Commission.
