Meet Kate Aanerud, Film Curator With The Lincoln

Kate Annerud believes everyone deserves a film school education—even if they've never stepped foot on a college campus. At The Lincoln Theatre's increasingly popular Film Freaks series, she's making that happen one monthly screening at a time.

Drawing from her formal film studies background at Illinois State University, Kate has crafted something special in Marion, Virginia: a free interactive cinema experience that transforms casual moviegoers into thoughtful film enthusiasts. The program elegantly bridges education and entertainment through a three-part format. First comes the lecture, where Kate breaks down elements like shot composition, sound design, genre theory, or character archetypes—giving attendees the vocabulary and analytical tools to see movies differently. Then there's the screening itself—always a surprise film carefully selected to illuminate the night's theme while expanding horizons beyond mainstream fare. Finally, a guided discussion encourages everyone to share reactions and apply their new knowledge.

Ready to expand your cinematic horizons? Film Freaks meets on the first Friday of every month at 7:00 PM at The Lincoln Theatre. Come with an open mind, and leave with a deeper appreciation for the art form.
