You can check out the kinds of films you’ll enjoy at Mountain Shadow by reading the list of films reviewed each month HERE.

Membership for the 2026 Season

Interested in becoming a member of Mountain Shadow, or renew your membership for 2026? The Member Guide and Application Form can be found HERE, HOWEVER NOTE: Both the Saturday 4:30 PM and 7:30 PM Series are now fully booked, with no additional membership available for those two Series. The Friday 4:30 PM Series may still have a few memberships available. To verify what’s available just contact Mountain Shadow's  Director, John Bennison: jb@mountainshadow.org or 925-787-6965.

Some General Admission tickets may become available each month, resulting in a RUSH LINE where non-members may be able to purchase a ticket; based on availability of seats that become available, due to member no-shows.

More about Mountain Shadow MEMBER BENEFITS:

-  Lower admission price per film and guaranteed seat. Your annual membership gives you a discount, compared to the $14.00 general admission ticket price.. With your membership you’re pre-paid for the entire year; as well as being assured there’ll be a seat for you for your selected Series! Members can also attend another Series’ date, space permitting; or use the Member Swap feature to try to exchange with another member to assure a seat.

- The Member Lending Library is available to members only, providing the opportunity to borrow prior films (blu-ray or DVD) of the vast majority of the films we’ve screened over the last twelve years! This enables members to catch a show they may have missed, or view the film a second time!

-  Film Discussions - Each month there's opportunity to participate in an hour-long Coffee & Film Discussion group that meets at 10 AM on the Monday following the last show each month. We use a reserved room at the Capital One Café on Main Street in Walnut Creek.

- The popular “Encore Evenings” program in the Director’s home is offered at least once each Summer for a limited number of members who sign-up.

For additional information, just contact Mountain Shadow's  Director, John Bennison: jb@mountainshadow.org or call 925-787-6965.
