Second Screen Cult Cinema

Second Screen Cult Cinema Tampa Bay's longest-running monthly movie series. Unconventional and unforgettable cult films. Third Thursdays | Green Light Cinema | St. Pete

Launched in Feb. 2015 as a non-profit group by a collective of friends and film aficionados entrenched in the local arts scene, Second Screen Cult Cinema is an award-winning, curated monthly film series in the Tampa Bay area that has been presenting unconventional and unforgettable cult films geared towards adult movie-goers (18+) looking for a refreshingly unique cinematic experience. Though its

Jean-Pierre Jeunet transforms Montmartre into a heightened, candy-colored dreamscape of cafรฉs, cobblestone streets, tiny apartments, mysterious strangers, and impossibly photogenic moments. Through super-saturated color, whimsical camera movements, visual gags, and playful compositions, the city becomes less a location than a character in its own right.

Itโ€™s the Paris you might imagine after drinking way too much espresso, falling in love, and deciding reality could use a little more magic.

There are still a few seats left for our screening THIS THURSDAY at , so grab โ€˜em at the link at our bio before theyโ€™re gone.

Donโ€™t miss your only chance to catch the 25th anniversary of ๐€๐Œ๐„ฬ๐‹๐ˆ๐„ on the screen! Jean-Pierre Jeunetโ€™s cult charmer is the kind of film that feels even more magical when experienced with a crowd.

๐€๐”๐†. ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ: Some movies make you want to change your life. ๐€๐Œ๐„ฬ๐‹๐ˆ๐„ makes you want to pay closer attention to it.

Jean-Pierre Jeunetโ€™s endlessly charming 2001 classic finds magic in the smallest things: skipping stones, cracking crรจme brรปlรฉe, returning a lost toy, overhearing a strangerโ€™s conversation, or simply watching the world go by.

Amรฉlie Poulain spends her days quietly improving the lives of the people around her, one tiny act of kindness at a time. And while her elaborate schemes donโ€™t always go according to plan, the filmโ€™s central idea remains wonderfully simple: happiness isnโ€™t always hiding somewhere far away; sometimes itโ€™s sitting right in front of you.

Twenty-five years later, Amรฉlie remains a joyful reminder to look for it.
Watch it with us at NEXT THURSDAY, Aug. 20! Reserve your seats at the ticket link in our bio.

๐€๐”๐†. ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ: Weโ€™re celebrating the 25th anniversary of one of the most beloved and enchanting films of the 21st century with a very special screening of ๐€๐Œ๐„ฬ๐‹๐ˆ๐„!

A whimsical, visually dazzling ode to the magic hiding in everyday life, ๐˜ˆ๐˜ฎรฉ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ follows a shy Parisian waitress (Audrey Tatou) who quietly sets out to improve the lives of the people around her while struggling to find the courage to pursue her own happiness.

Directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet (๐˜‹๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ, ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜Š๐˜ช๐˜ต๐˜บ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜“๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜Š๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ) and anchored by Tautouโ€™s luminous performance, this treasured cult classic transforms Montmartre into a storybook Paris of saturated color, eccentric characters, playful romance, and small acts of kindness, creating a singularly charming celebration of connection, imagination, and the courage to finally step into your own life.

As far as we know, weโ€™re the only ones in the Tampa Bay area bringing Jeunetโ€™s masterpiece to the big screen for its anniversary โ€” and itโ€™s happening for one night only. Consider this your excuse to fall in love with it all over again.

Doors open at 7 p.m. Beer/wine/concessions are available in Green Lightโ€™s lobby; you can also grab dinner next door at Green Light Lounge + Kitchen! Tickets are $12 and can be purchased at the box office or the link below or in our bio.
