fastballs / fast cars

At a/perture, summer means many things, but this summer it means highlighting two classic genres, baseball films and movies with fast cars!

Something about baseball works so well in tandem with the art of filmmaking, which often struggles to capture the full range of emotion of other sports. The slower pace, the strategy and passion, all lead to some perennial favorites you can watch annually (in air conditioning!) during the dog days of Summer. Enjoy some favorites, from the statistic and measured pleasure of Moneyball to the romanticism of local favorites Bull Durham and A League of Their Own. 

Meanwhile, summer also means blockbusters with fast cars and action heroes. In our opinion, Hollywood movies were more enjoyable when relying on the creativity and authenticity of practical effects, before ‘fix it in post’ became a mission statement. The early 90’s pleasure of watching Steve McQueen, Tom Cruise and Keanu Reeves go fast never subsides in our minds.

From a/perture, it’s just a quick “Dash” down the street to see some real-life baseball, so every ticket buyer to one of our four baseball-themed films is eligible for a drawing for free Winston-Salem Dash tickets!

You’re entered if you buy your tickets online or you can drop your name at the theater! Drawing will happen June 22. And don’t forget you can visit our table at Truist Stadium on their upcoming FREE Signature Community Movie Nights – June 27, August 1, and October 30!

And don’t forget to check out our free a/mobile screenings: Need For Speed this summer at Bailey Park!
