Next Gen (Ages 21–40)
This unique Burns community brings together movie lovers aged 21-40 to meet new people and discover great films. Next Gen patrons enjoy invitations to social gatherings, special screenings, curated experiences, and more—no membership required.
To start receiving Next Gen invitations and updates, log in to your online account profile and be sure to identify yourself as a Next Gen member (ages 21–40). While you’re there, share your film preferences too, so we can tailor events and recommendations just for you.
We kicked off Next Gen with a special preview night on Thursday, March 5, featuring two upcoming films—both introduced by our Film Programmer Ian LoCascio:
-
Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Bride! at 7:30 PM
-
2026 Oscar nominee Sirāt at 7:45 PM
Before the films, over fifty attendees joined us for a free Next Gen Kickback at Take 3 Wine Bar & Café starting at 6:15 PM. With wine, beer, non-alcoholic drinks, and light snacks in a relaxed, welcoming setting, it was perfect for meeting fellow film fans or kicking off the night with friends.
We are in the process of planning the next Next Gen event—stay tuned for updates! For any questions/concerns please reach out to inquiries@burnsfilmcenter.org.
