Music City Mondays

Tracing a century of filmmaking in and about Music City, this seminar explores how Nashville became both a subject and a site for American cinema. From Southern stories to music-driven productions, it also highlights Belcourt's enduring role in shaping — and showcasing — the city’s evolving film culture. Includes a screening of RANCHO DELUXE immediately following at 8:00pm.

Capturing a star-studded tribute to the legendary songwriter filmed in October 2022 at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, YOU GOT GOLD brings together acclaimed artists, friends and family to share behind-the-scenes stories and perform classic songs, honoring John Prine's enduring legacy.

Directed by Peter Weir and written by Nashville native Tom Schulman, DEAD POETS SOCIETY stars Robin Williams as a teacher who inspires students to defy conformity. Featuring Ethan Hawke and Robert Sean Leonard, the story draws from Schulman’s experience at Montgomery Bell Academy, shaping the film’s Nashville themes and setting.

Inspired by true events, James Foley (GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS) directs Sean Penn and Christopher Walken as a father-son-duo caught in a violent crime ring. Filmed just outside Nashville, the film blends Southern noir with Brat Pack-era sincerity, featuring Mary Stuart Masterson and Kiefer Sutherland.
