Beyond Normal Films (BNF) is a nonprofit organization and acts as an advisory group to the Normal Theater.
BNF prepares a quarterly list of foreign, independent, and documentary films which we believe the community would like to see--usually films that have gotten excellent critical reviews.
The list of film suggestions is submitted to the Normal Theater, which chooses the movies that are shown during each quarter based upon availability and box office appeal.
Except for our Showcase and Annual Meeting Films, the Normal Theater pays for the costs of the films and advertising, receives the box office receipts, and assumes the risks associated with the bookings.
BNF helps promote these films through our newsletters and posters. We also provide the door prizes at the BNF Choices.

THEATER INFORMATION:
All films will be shown at the Normal Theater. Unless otherwise noted, film times will be 7 pm. Admission for adults is $6, children 12 and under are $5. Street and off-street parking is available throughout Uptown Normal; please see a parking map at http://www.normal.org/uptown/parking.asp
