We’re Off to See the Wizard...

Click your heels three times and follow MOPOP down the Yellow Brick Road! Join us for a two-day film festival celebrating The Wizard of Oz and the magical worlds it continues to inspire.  

Greenify your weekend with a full lineup of films, immersive activations, and a special panel where filmmaker Alexandre Philippe talks about his film Lynch/Oz and explores the Oz influence in David Lynch’s work. Begin your journey with the original Wizard of Oz, then chart your own path through seven additional films. Whether you’re watching the movies for the very first time or revisiting Oz through a new lens, your weekend is fully customizable.

Reserved Seating

Members and VIP ticketholders receive priority seating in both screening locations: Sound and Vision Theater and Sky Church.  Doors will open twenty minutes before each film with members admitted first followed by VIP ticket holders and then by general admission guests.

Members and VIP ticket holders will receive seat markers at check-in and may use those to reserve their seats between screenings and while away from their seats.

Guests may move freely between the film screenings throughout the day but may only reserve seats in one space. For example, you may reserve a seat in Sky Church for The Wizard of Oz, move to a general admission seat in Sound and Vision Theater for part of Return to Oz, and return to your reserved seat in Sky Church. Once your seat is reserved, it is yours for the day until you move your seat marker.
