Christopher Nolan Week Starts Friday!

After three long months, Enzian is thrilled to be able to once again open its doors, turn on the projector, and serve our community by screening both acclaimed new art house releases and influential and iconic repertory titles!

Kicking off week four is “Christopher Nolan Week.” Born in July 1970 and raised in London, Christopher Nolan might be one of the most iconic “American” filmmakers. Using his dual birthright (his mother is American), he has stamped his signature worldview on a host of exceptional films over the past 22 years – in the process garnering himself 5 Oscar® nominations as a writer, director, and producer. Enzian proudly brings Nolan’s acclaimed Dark Knight Trilogy back to the big screen for one week only. Considered some of the greatest comic book adaptations of all time, the trio of films combined were nominated for 230 international awards, won 3 Oscars (including Heath Ledger’s iconic performance as The Joker), and made nearly $2.5 billion at the worldwide box office. They stand as a testament to a perfectly achieved cinematic vision.

Along with The Dark Knight Trilogy, Enzian will host a special 10th anniversary, one-night-only showcase of Nolan’s masterpiece, Inception (4 Oscars and 8 nominations), and later in August, a rare 35mm showing of his first feature film, Following (1998), will screen as part of our Cult Classics series. So, come out and celebrate one of the most acclaimed filmmakers of his generation.

In addition to Christopher Nolan Week, we are thrilled to bring in John Lewis: Good Trouble, a documentary that chronicles Lewis’ 60-plus years of social activism and legislative action on civil rights, voting rights, gun control, health-care reform, and immigration.

Enzian is also excited to be able to reschedule special programming that was postponed due to the pandemic. This includes our Uncomfortable Brunch series, which starts again this Sunday with Dogtooth, an early masterwork from the director of The Lobster and The Favourite.

Please note: Now until further notice, we are complying with Orange County Government regulations, and reminding you to wear a masks at all times, except when eating and drinking. Masks are required and must be worn, even when seated, and when interacting with staff. We appreciate your cooperation in helping everyone stay safe, and for helping us stay open!

With the current 50% capacity regulation in place, seating will be limited, and we encourage purchasing tickets online in advance to minimize contact. 

We are taking every measure possible to make your return to the theater enjoyable. We’ve enhanced sanitary procedures, and seating has been physically distanced to ensure safety and comfortability. 

We will still be adding new titles to Enzian On Demand every Friday for those who wish to continue supporting us from home.

Reminder: You only have until this Thursday, July 2nd, to stream Beats. You have one more week to stream All I Can Say and Miss Juneteenth (held over by popular demand).

A percentage of every on-demand purchase will go back to Enzian in an effort to help our nonprofit organization.

In case you missed it: We’ve scheduled new dates for FFF! As we mentioned in March, the 2020 Florida Film Festival, originally planned for April, was postponed until August. Our new official dates are August 7-20. Stay tuned! The full schedule, and more information, will be announced on July 15. Click here to read our full statement.
