The 2021 Rochester Polish Film Festival is happening online at thelittle.org April 7-14. We chat with the fest's programmer to preview this ode to Polish cinema.

Like an unpopped kernel, The Little has not been able to take its full form for the past year. We last screened a movie inside on March 14, 2020, but of course, have been able to offer plenty of virtual films/events, outdoors happenings, private rentals, and more. This is all great, but not the same as The Little flourishing into its true form — the glorious, fluffy, buttery, essential morsel of Rochester's arts scene. What I'm saying in this clearly flawless analogy is that we're aiming to reopen this spring. 

Little Theatre gift certificates, gift membership, vintage t-shirts, winter clothing, tote bags and more are available via The Little’s online shop. Orders can be placed at shopthelittle.org.

One Take Film Festival (OTFF) t-shirts ("Make Docs, Not War" "The Truth Is Out There" "I Can Handle The Truth"), tote bags, enamel pins, insulated tumblers, and water bagsare also now available.

PRE-ORDER HERE

Quench those Little cravings. Curbside Concessions and the Popcorn Pop-up return 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 18 and Sunday, Dec. 20. Little Popcorn, nanaimo bars (pictured), along with holiday cookies, Rohrbach beer, cider, plus other boozy treats are available for pre-order at shopthelittle.org. Pre-orders end at 5 p.m. both days, but we'll accept in-person orders as well.

The wild, zany, "nightmarishly Canadian" film, THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, is now playing at The Virtual Little. The Movies and a Microphone and Anomaly Film Festival crews break down this indescribable film, and also talk about narwhals a lot. Don't worry, it makes sense here (kind of).
