Films in the Forest is a series of first-run movies, classic feature films, and documentary film screenings on the outdoor stage of the Forest Theater in Carmel. Starting just after sunset on the Big Screen, we often feature local and student film maker nights, offering our community a preview of the diverse talent in our region; an introduction to the up and coming directors, cinematographers and actors that will grace the stages and screens of the world.

Films in the Forest will run with dates interspersed between the stage plays from June thru July at the Forest Theater and possibly late-July through December, typically on Saturday’s at the Carmel Youth Center. Proceeds from all of our films and special events go to support our ongoing programs. Please check back soon to view upcoming show times and ticket information.
