Before Sunrise (30th Anniversary)
30th Anniversary! 2K Digital Transfer!
Celebrate the 30th anniversary of Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise, the tender, talkative romance that launched one of cinema’s most beloved trilogies. When American traveler Jesse (Ethan Hawke) meets French student Céline (Julie Delpy) on a train to Vienna, a spontaneous decision leads them to spend one unforgettable night walking the city, sharing stories, philosophies, and a deepening connection that lingers well beyond sunrise.
An exquisitely understated ode to the thrill of romantic possibility, the inaugural installment of The Before Trilogy redefined the modern romance, embracing conversation over convention and capturing intimacy in real time. It became a cult favorite and a benchmark of ’90s indie filmmaking, inspiring generations of dialogue-driven dramas and romantic realists. Its enduring legacy includes two Oscar®-Nominated sequels—Before Sunset (2004) and Before Midnight (2013).
Join us for this special anniversary screening and relive the magic of the one single night that changed Jesse and Céline forever.
1995, 101 minutes, USA, In English, French and German, Directed by Richard Linklater, Rated R
