In 2010 a/perture cinema opened its doors, popped the first batches of popcorn, and welcomed Winston-Salem to the first (and only) art-house cinema in the Triad. Join us throughout 2025 to celebrate 15 years of a/perture cinema! 

Set on an island off the coast of New England in the summer of 1965, Moonrise Kingdom tells the story of two twelve-year-olds who fall in love, make a secret pact, and run away together into the wilderness. As various authorities try to hunt them down, a violent storm is brewing off-shore – and the peaceful island community is turned upside down in more ways than anyone can handle.
