All films are free, but RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED. For these films, reservations must be made at least 24 hours in advance by e-mail (preferred) or telephone (202-501-5000). Please remember to specify the name of the show for which you would like to have a seat and the number of seats you will need.
