Every month, MPL sponsors free public films.  Showings of recently released feature films, kids films, classic movies, and international prize winners are held onsite and are free of charge.  Call 721-2665 to find out about upcoming showings.

Cheap Date Night

Cheap Date Night, the third Friday of every month, is an after-hours program at Missoula Public Library

The movie starts at 7:00, with doors off the parking lot (Front Street side of the building) opening at 6:45. We'll provide the popcorn and you can provide your own non-alcoholic beverages. Please be on time, as after 7:10 p.m. you will not be able to enter the building for security reasons.

World Wide Cinema

Enjoy award-winning first-run foreign and independent films on a monthly basis.  Each film must have been in competition (several have won awards) at one of the top ten film festivals in the world, such as Cannes, Toronto, and Sundance.  Films are selected by film curators of Film Movement, a company dedicated to allowing everyone to participate in new film releases.  Films in this series are appropriate for mature audiences only.

The film screenings are free and open to the public on the second Friday of every month at MPL.

Doors open at 6:45 p.m. and the film begins at 7 p.m. Call 721-2665, if you have questions.

Afternoon Classic Films

Every second and fourth Wednesday of every month, MPL shows a classic film geared towards older adults from 2:00-4:00 in the Large Meeting Room.  We feature films released pre-1960.  Call to find out what our next showing will be.

Kids & Young Adult Movies

In the summer, free, public showings of films for children and young adults are regularly scheduled.  Call 721-2665 to find out when the next movie events for kids and teens will be showing.
