The Wizard of Oz (IB Tech Print)

With the generous support of our friends at NEON, we invite everyone to come together through the magic of film with a series of free community screenings, as we continue to navigate these difficult times.

This is a free event. Seating is on a first come, first serve basis and admission is not guaranteed.

Whisked away to the magical land of Oz, Dorothy and her dog Toto embark on an unexpected journey to the Emerald City, while making a few friends along the way. An enduring fave for the whole family, The Wizard of Oz received six Academy Award nominations, including a win for the song Over the Rainbow, sung by young star Judy Garland. We’re delighted to present this favorite on dazzling 35mm and hope you’ll join us as “we’re off to see the wizard!”

“A work of almost staggering iconographic, mythological, creative and simple emotional meaning, at least for American audiences, this is one vintage film that fully lives up to its classic status.” – Todd McCarthy, Variety

“The Wizard of Oz fills such a large space in our imagination. It somehow seems real and important in a way most movies don’t” – Roger Ebert

“Remains the weirdest, scariest, kookiest, most haunting and indelible kid-flick-that’s- really-for-adults ever made in Hollywood.” – Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly

“Any reason to show your children The Wizard of Oz on a big screen seems like a good one.” – Rafer Guzman, Newsday
