2025 Summer Classic Film Festival – A Tribute to Mal Vincent!

A series of classic films in from July 7th through August 25th, hosted by friends of Mal Vincent on Monday evenings (Also Tuesday matinees without hosts). This summer we’ve added a silent film classic to wind up the series. This will be The General featuring an original live musical score on Sunday, August 24th at 1pm and Monday, August 25th at 7pm.

In Memoriam

As you know, Mal was irreplaceable, whether as the Virginian-Pilot’s film critic for more than half a century (his annual Oscar picks were always an event), as a guest on countless local radio broadcasts, or just as a friend sharing one of his latest Hollywood exploits over the phone. It was Mal’s wish that his yearly festival of classic films at the Naro would continue. So, we have assembled a group of local celebrities and cinephiles to step in as hosts for some of Mal’s favorite films from past festivals, some he had planned to share in the future, as well as other Hollywood classics. No one can fill his shoes, but we’ll do our best to do justice to his memory and to the movies he adored.
