A Christmas Story with Peter Billingsley

Description

Idaho Film Society Presents: A Christmas Story on 35mm Last year, we were overwhelmed by the incredible response to our screening of A Christmas Story! Many of you asked if we’d bring it back—well, guess what? You’re in luck! Join us for a magical one-night-only event on December 11th, featuring a special guest appearance by none other than Peter Billingsley, who played Ralphie and is also an IFS Board Member! This year’s screening will be especially meaningful as we honor the late John Eickhof, our beloved projectionist who repaired the Egyptian Theatre’s film projectors last year and recently passed away. John’s dedication to preserving the magic of cinema ensured that treasures like A Christmas Story can continue to light up Boise screens for decades to come. His passion will forever be part of our community. After the screening, Peter will join us for an exclusive Q&A session, sharing behind-the-scenes stories and holiday memories from this timeless classic. Experience the charm of A Christmas Story like never before—on glorious 35mm film. This event is proudly sponsored by Elliot Prestwich. Let’s come together to celebrate the season, honor John, and enjoy this unforgettable holiday classic.
