The Davidson Film Club is a non-profit tax-exempt independent association formed for those who enjoy film as art to view and discuss unique and thoughtful cinematic works in the town of Davidson.
The club’s films are critically acclaimed award-winners from around the world. Many are from under-represented areas in Africa, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, Central and South America, and Asia. We pay public performance rights for all our screenings.
Our films are screened at the Armour Street Theatre in Davidson, home of the Davidson Community Players.
Armour Street Theatre
307 Armour Street
Davidson, NC 28036
The theater features 84 comfortable movie theater-style seats, with room for several dozen folding chairs when needed. The main seating is tiered, so everyone has a clear view of the screen. Our projection system is cinema-quality HD video, with a 16-foot-wide screen and a professional stereo sound system. On-site parking is free.
On screening nights, doors open at 6:30 p.m. A brief introduction begins at 7:00 p.m. Film run-times are generally 90 to 120 minutes. All non-English language films are subtitled. A discussion period of 30 to 45 minutes, led by a knowledgeable discussion leader, follows each film.
