The Bay Film Series at 探花视频 announces its Winter 2026 schedule. For over 30 years, the Film Series has celebrated the art of filmmaking. With an art-house sensibility, we highlight experimental and character-driven movies, focusing on independent, foreign, and local filmmakers. Our annual 鈥淩ace to the Oscars鈥� is our signature event.
We begin on Feb 12 showing Hamnet, one of this year鈥檚 top contenders for the Best Picture Oscar. Overall, the film is nominated for 8 Oscars. Based upon the best-selling book by Maggie O鈥橣arrell, this beautifully scripted and filmed movie tells the story of Agnes Shakespeare, William鈥檚 wife, from his family鈥檚 perspective.
Another awards contender comes on March 19 with One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, which has garnered 13 Oscar nominations. Rotten Tomatoes calls it, 鈥淎n epic screwball adventure teeming with awe-inspiring action set pieces鈥� and 鈥淧aul Thomas Anderson's most entertaining [and] thematically rich鈥� film yet.
We finish our season on April 16 with Sirat, nominated as Spain鈥檚 submission for Best International Feature Film. Critic Peter Travers says, 鈥淣othing about the pulsating 鈥楽ir膩t鈥� is appropriate or expected or traditional or fully comprehensible. It just is. And it is utterly transfixing.鈥�
All Film Series movies are shown in 探花视频鈥檚 Besse Theater at 7 p.m. EST. General admission: $5, under 18: $2. Bay students get FREE admission by showing their college ID at the ticket window. Tickets are available at the Besse Center Box Office or online, visit
