Art & Culture

Picture This!

Picture This! is a free film series presented most Tuesdays in the Central Library’s Neil Morgan Auditorium. Screenings are open to everyone and no registration is needed. Featured films include Obsession (R, 109 minutes, Horror, 2026), where Baron Bear Bailey shatters a novelty charm to compel his coworker Nikki Freeman’s affection, only to trigger a violent fixation that traps him in a nightmare. The Maltese Falcon (Approved, 100 minutes, 1941) follows a San Francisco private investigator drawn into the hunt for a priceless 16th century statuette after his partner is killed during what seemed like a routine tail. Dumb and Dumber (PG-13, 107 minutes, Comedy, 1994) tracks a dimwitted limo driver and his equally clueless friend on a cross country road trip to Aspen to return a forgotten briefcase. Super 8 (PG-13, 112 minutes, Sci-Fi, 2011) is set in 1979 as a group of friends witness a train crash and investigate the unexplained events that follow in their small town. On most days, the Central Library underground garage offers up to two hours of free parking with validation, and rates or special event pricing may apply beyond that.
