For us, your membership means several things. It allows us to program our film series without worrying about having to come up with emergency money out of our pockets. It lets us set a realistic budget for film rentals, theater rentals, guest appearances and food. It tells us how many people in Seattle are really willing to support independent cinema, rather than merely give it lip service. It lets us know in which directions we should take our ideas of a cohesive, inclusive cinema. And finally, it lets us know the audience for whom we are programming.
For you, our one-time paid lifetime membership means the special treatment that honest supporters of local cinema deserve. Preferred seating, free admission to all our monthly screenings, free tickets for your guests, and huge discounts to our special events are among the reasons you should become a member.
In addition, we offer a special rate of $10 for students and seniors (55+) that includes all the benefits of a regular Single membership.
We take our cinema society very seriously. Our goal is nothing less than to change the American cinema into something great beyond mere "entertainment," and to alert the American audience to its greatness. Every member we have is one more voice united against the hegemony of dull, vapid Hollywood productions, and one more vote for a more democratic, more diverse, more intelligent American cinema.
Consider this, and become a member.
