Hollywood’s biggest night is earlier this ever - don't miss it! FilmScene invites you to our annual big screen celebration of the year in movies, once again entirely free of charge!

Complimentary appetizers donated by Trumpet Blossom Cafe, Enjoyabowl, Which Wich, and DP Dough

Walk down the blue carpet, predict the winners, wine some prizes, snack on bottomless Iowa popcorn and sip on delicious movie-inspired drinks. It’s the movies' biggest night of the year and FilmScene staff wants to celebrate with you, our favorite moviegoers.

The festivities begin at 5:30pm when doors are opened, with complimentary appetizers at 6:00pm donated by Trumpet Blossom Cafe, Which Wich, Enjoyabowl, and DP Dough. Come dressed in your finest, or get your pajamas on early, to share the evening with fellow film lovers. Take a selfie on the blue carpet, get to work on those ballots, visit the bar and get settled in. We’ll be broadcasting live on both screens at the Chauncey and in the lobby! 

Start the excitement now with our hashtag: #BlueCarpetBash. Raise your voice, between now and awards night, because we'll be announcing the winners of our annual Foscars awards.

FREE admission. We invite you to support your local nonprofit cinema by sipping on a delicious selection of Iowa craft beers, tasty wines and movie inspired specialty drinks. Please RSVP in advance to be eligible for giveaways!

Note: Seating is general admission - first come, first serve. RSVPing does not guarantee a seat.
