What's New
The HARRY POTTER Film Series Coming to YES Cinema!
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone starts Friday!
All of us grew up with Harry Potter (to one degree or another). We read the books and saw all the films. Now, YES Cinema is presenting ALL the original films over the next several weeks. First up is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone:
This is the tale of Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), an ordinary eleven-year-old boy serving as a sort of slave for his aunt and uncle who learns that he is actually a wizard and has been invited to attend the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry is snatched away from his mundane existence by Rubeus Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane), the groundskeeper for Hogwarts, and quickly thrown into a world completely foreign to both him and the viewer. Famous for an incident that happened at his birth, Harry makes friends easily at his new school. He soon finds, however, that the wizarding world is far more dangerous for him than he would have imagined, and he quickly learns that not all wizards are ones to be trusted.

The new thriller ALONE now at YES!
Jules Willcox (Netflix's Bloodline) stars in ALONE as Jessica, a grief-stricken widow who flees the city in an attempt to cope with the loss of her husband. When Jessica is kidnapped by a mysterious man and locked in a cabin in the Pacific Northwest, she escapes into the wilderness and is pursued by her captor. The key cast includes Marc Menchaca (Ozark, The Outsider) and Anthony Heald (The Silence Of The Lambs).
"One of the best and most exciting thrillers of the year." - Cinema Crazed
"After 90 minutes of cat-and-mouse survivalism, Alone builds to such a thrilling finale, it left me as breathless and exhausted as the characters." - Terry Mesbard, Gayly Dreadful
The Manhattan Short Festival comes to YES Cinema! - Sept. 25 at 10am & Sept. 28 at 6pm
Free Screening!
MANHATTAN SHORT is the only event of its kind. It is a a worldwide event taking place across six continents between September 24 and October 31, 2020. The Final Nine short film selections screen simultaneously across the world during a one-month period, with the Best Film and Best Actor awards determined by ballots cast by the audiences in each participating venue. This year's selections use drama, comedy and animation to address an astonishing number of themes, ranging from identity to parenthood to the seemingly universal frustration caused by the Department of Motor Vehicles no matter the country. The directorial voices are both male and female from countries large and small, often inspired by personal and sometimes harrowing, experience. This year's Final Nine screening also is a rare instance when gripping dramas from Iran, Israel, and the State of Palestine are featured in the same program. This event is free and is presented by the Bartholomew County Public Library.
