Join us for an Unforgettable Evening
Get ready for a magical night that will transport you back to your favorite holiday memories. On December 11th at 7:30 pm, at The Egyptian Theater (Boise, Idaho), the Idaho Film Society presents an exclusive 35mm screening of the beloved classic, "A Christmas Story." But that's not all - there's a special treat in store for you.

Have you ever wondered what it was like to be in the shoes of Ralphie, the young protagonist of this heartwarming film? Now is your chance to find out–join us for a live Q&A session with host and moderator, Aidan Brezonick of Idaho Film Society and none other than Peter Billingsley, the star of "A Christmas Story" himself. Hear his behind-the-scenes stories, memorable moments from the set, and his take on the enduring charm of this timeless holiday classic.

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.
