This year, our FREE movie nights on the Will Naylor Smith River Walk Plaza come with a twist! Screenings now happen on Saturdays, featuring quarterly themes showcasing some of your favorite films.

Join us on the second Saturday of the month for a perfect evening under the stars. The plaza opens at 6 PM, and the movie begins at 7 PM. Bring your lawn chairs or a cozy blanket to enjoy the show on our stunning 32-foot LED video wall! Full concessions and a bar will be available to enhance your movie experience.

🌧️ Rain or Shine: These events will go on regardless of the weather. If the skies don’t cooperate, we’ll move the fun indoors.

🚫 Please note: Pets, outside food, and outside drinks are not permitted on the plaza or in our theaters.

Not sure what to expect? Here are a few tips for making the most of your night out:

• Parking: Convenient parking is available at the Tobin Center Parking Garage (227 4th Street, 78205).
• Arrive Early: Secure your perfect spot and avoid navigating through crowds in the dark after the movie starts.
• Seating: Bring blankets or low lawn chairs (no taller than 32" to ensure everyone has a great view). Chairs will also be available on-site as supplies allow.
• Stay Cozy: Cooler evenings call for layers—a long-sleeved shirt or light jacket can make all the difference.
• Share the Fun: Invite your friends! Movie nights are a fantastic way to gather with loved ones and enjoy a relaxing evening together.

Join us for a free film screening of "Trokas Duras", followed by a plática with Filmmaker Jazmin Garcia, Monica Sosa of Entre Films and members of Esperanza and Domesticas Unidas.

Filmmaker Jazmin Garcia (Los Angeles, CDMX) is touring the Texas/Mexico borderlands with her latest film, "Trokas Duras". This film is about experiencing the City of Los Angeles through the perspective of a specific type of worker in LA so common, yet often overlooked as an integral part of the city and expansive county.

Trokas Duras is an homage, funded and supported by the National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON), uplifting the unique, idiosyncratic, and customized old pick-up trucks driven by Latino day laborers and the intimacy that is cultivated in and around them. Jazmin has been screening the film at various festivals, universities, and micro-cinemas, and was the winner of the Short Film Jury Award for Best US Fiction at the Sundance Film Festival 2025.

For the San Antonio stop of this film tour, Jazmin has partnered with the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center to bring "Trokas Duras" to the San Antonio community. Following the screening, Jazmin will be joined by members of the community for a plática about the film and the work being done on the ground that challenges the status quo, while creating intersections of beauty and justice.

The event is free, for all ages, and bilingual!
