CHARLOTTESVILLE (WINA) – The Virginia Film Festival and Paramount Theater are giving a movie experience a whirl with a special screening of “Minari”. Film festival director Jody Kielbasa says it was an Academy Award nominee and Youn YuhJung won best supporting actress. It’s Thursday, May 13 at 7pm… and tickets are on-sale 10am Wednesday morning, April 28.

To meet local and state guidelines — which are now the same with the elimination of the local ordinance — there will be greatly reduced capacity and parties will be socially-distanced. You can look at the Paramount’s COVID plan and safety measures… and buy tickets to the May 13 movie by clicking the link in the full press release below.
