This is rare. We have no new films opening this week, and no movies closing. So it's the perfect chance to look ahead! We have two films opening next Friday, April 19. They're wildly different, but I kind of love that. EDIT: High Life's opening date has been moved to April 26.

Change arrives on Friday (3/15). A slight change, but one that opens up some fun possibilities.

As I mentioned in The Little Blog last week, we're getting a head start on the weekend with earlier showtimes Friday. This means both the main entrance and The Little Cafe will open at 4 p.m. Friday, March 15.

The Little’s theater 1 (240 East Ave.) will enter the next phase of its historic restoration project on Monday, Feb. 25. This stage of renovations includes lobby improvements, the installation of an elevator, the addition of two green rooms, a new kitchen, and more. Theater 1 will be closed for an estimated 6 to 8 months for the restoration. (MORE: WXXI News breaks down the next stage of changes at The Little)

Each year since I've been at The Little (I started in July 2015), I've compiled a list of my favorite Little movies of the year. The only requirement of the list is that the film must have debuted in the previous calendar year (2018 for this year's version), and must have screened at The Little at least once. These are not necessarily the most-award worthy pictures, just my favorites (though I certainly hope they win all the awards).
