It is with great sadness we report that founding Board member and our long time projectionist, George Crittenden, passed away on June 4, 2008 after a short illness. George was instrumental in the success of the Film Society and, as our patrons can attest, was a master at projection. His tender treatment of archive 35mm prints enabled AFS to enjoy wide access to studio and collector vaults.

George is sorely missed.

The Alex Film Society presents, at Glendale's Alex Theatre, programs of classic feature films, cartoons, newsreels and short subjects together with guest appearances by notable personalities. Our mission is to entertain and educate the audience while demonstrating to film owners that there is a market for classic films and the financial risks involved in film preservation are worthwhile.

Our goal is to present the best possible prints so patrons can enjoy films in the manner for which they were intended. At the same time the Society must pay the expenses associated with our programs and strengthen our ability to maintain and upgrade the film capabilities of the Alex.

General Admission tickets are $13.50 / $9.50 seniors and students and $8 Alex Film Society members. (Some special events are higher)

Join the Film Society, annual family pass is just $40, at the box office (cash or check for membership only please) and save on tickets immediately!
