A SAMHAIN/HALLOWEEN CONCERT: Brings together music, stories and folklore from the Celtic lands to celebrate the Ancient Celtic Bonfire festival of Samhain, known as Féile na Marbh (the Feast of the Dead). Samhain (pronounced 'sow-in' meaning 'the Summer's end') marks the end of harvest, beginning of Winter and the Celtic New Year.  Traditionally celebrated at the end of October/beginning of November it is the origin of Halloween/All Hallows Eve, All Souls Day and Dia de los Muertos.  It is believed that on Samhain or 'Ancestor night', the border between the world of the living and the dead is thinnest. Candles are lit at the graves of loved ones, offerings of food and drink left out for the Ancestors and bonfires lit throughout the countryside. Many of our modern day customs are based on Samhain including ghost stories, Halloween costumes, bobbing for apples, and the jack-o-lantern.

We’re launching our new Essential Cinema series at The Eureka Theater, and we are so excited to share it with you.
We’re kicking it all off on Saturday, October 11 with a film that defines the word "masterpiece": Ridley Scott’s BLADE RUNNER: THE FINAL CUT.

If you’ve only ever seen this on a TV, you haven’t really seen it. This is your chance to be completely swallowed by its world. To feel the bass of the Vangelis score in your bones. To get lost in the eternal rain and neon of a future that still feels eerily real. It’s a visual and philosophical feast, and it is absolutely breathtaking on the big screen.

This is just the beginning. Our Masterpieces category is for the films that changed everything. The ones that leave you speechless.
