Reg Lenna To Screen Films Wednesday, Friday

The Reg Lenna Center for the Arts will screen the films Eternity and The Choral this week. Eternity (Wednesday, Feb. 25, at 7 p.m.) stars Elizabeth Olsen, Miles Teller and Callum Turner. In an afterlife where souls have one week to decide where to spend eternity, Joan (Olsen) is faced with the impossible choice between the man she spent her life with (Teller) and her first love (Turner), who died young and has waited decades for her to arrive. Eternity is rated PG-13 and is 114 minutes long. Ralph Fienes stars in The Choral (Friday, Feb. 27 at 7 p.m.) As war rages on the Western Front, the Choral Society in Ramsden, Yorkshire has lost most of its men to the army. The Choral’s ambitious committee, determined to press ahead, decides to recruit local young males to swell their ranks and engage a new chorus master – Dr. Henry Guthrie (Fiennes). As conscription papers start to arrive, the whole community discovers that the best response to the chaos that is laying waste to their lives is to make music together. The Choral is rated R and is 114 minutes long. Tickets for most Movies at The Reg are $8 in-person at the box office and $10 online (reglenna.com) and by phone at 716-484-7070.
