Doors and dinner at 6:00. Films begin at 7:00.
Join us at White Branches the last Tuesday of July, August, and September for our Dinner and a Movie film series. Three films about food – Italian, Mexican, and French cuisine – each one featuring an optional, themed catered meal by a local restaurant!
RSVP at least two days in advance to reserve your seat and meal! Meals are not available "at the door."
Some films merely make you hungry, while others remind you that sharing a meal is one of life's greatest pleasures. Our film series Dinner and a Movie celebrates stories where food is more than just sustenance; it's an expression of love, tradition, and community.
Over three evenings, each screening will be paired with an optional themed dinner inspired by the film itself, inviting you to experience these unforgettable stories with all your senses. From the exuberant Italian feast of Big Night to the magical flavors of Like Water for Chocolate and the transcendent banquet of Babette’s Feast, we hope you’ll leave with a full stomach and a full heart.
Additional food and drinks will be available for purchase, including White Branches menu bite boxes (limited availability), wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages along with cake, popcorn, and candy.

September 29: Babette's Feast
Beautiful but pious sisters Martine (Birgitte Federspiel) and Philippa (Bodil Kjer) grow to spinsterhood under the wrathful eye of their strict pastor father on the forbidding and desolate coast of 19th-century Jutland, until one day, Philippa's former suitor sends a French refugee named Babette (Stéphane Audran) to serve as the family cook.
Babette's lavish celebratory banquet tempts the family's dwindling congregation, who have renounced such pleasures as fine foods and wines.
"It is as if the best stories, miraculously, write themselves. [Director Gabriel] Axel’s film manages to capture this anonymous and folklorish quality. Faithful to the story, he has made grace visible, and given us, in addition, a wonderful lesson in courtesy." —Mark Le Fanu, criterion.com
