PROXY SPRING SERIES 2026
For our 2026 PROXY Spring Series, we continue to celebrate our ten year anniversary with an incredible selection of films celebrating personal growth and the wisdom of experience. From a ping pong hustler trying to conquer the world to a curious three-year-old discovering the world for the first time, from one father struggling to provide for his family to another reconnecting with a family he left behind, the characters in our selection of films undergo a search for meaning within themselves and the greater world. Join us for a film (or five!) to dive deep into the human experience, to laugh, cry, and celebrate the power of cinema that brings us closer together – to each other and to our very selves.
🌧️ SENTIMENTAL VALUE was postponed due to rain until the 2026 PROXY Fall Film Festival! 🌧️
