Welcome to the
Maplewood Film Society!
We are a community of film-lovers who believe the best way to see a movie is with others on big a screen.
Support Us!
The Maplewood Film Society is creating unforgettable cinema events that bring our community together to celebrate movies, conversation, and the arts. We are also organizing our community to advocate for an independent non-profit theater and community space on the site of our historic movie theater. Your donation helps preserve Maplewood’s vibrant cultural character, now and forever!
The Maplewood Film Society is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and your donation is tax deductible.
