About Hop Film

Film

Great Movies. Every Weekend.

Hop Film connects to the scope, beauty and impact of film through a diverse, unique and engaging slate that encourages film literacy and appreciation in the Dartmouth community and beyond. 

The wide-ranging program runs every weekend (Thu - Sun) and includes foreign and independent films to recent Oscar winners and classics. This slate includes a series curated by the Dartmouth Film Society (DFS) and Film Specials, one-of-a-kind shows often with a live guest. Rounding out the lineup are the Event Cinema shows: HD broadcasts ranging from The Metropolitan Opera to London’s National Theatre to blockbuster art exhibitions.

Campus Connections

Student engagement and campus collaboration comprise the heart of our program and constitute over 50% of our offerings. Regular and thoughtful partnerships with student groups, academic departments and campus centers help drive student attendance and further incorporate film into the course curriculums.

Hop Film by the Numbers

The bulk of the program occurs in the 237-seat Loew Auditorium in the Black Family Visual Arts Center. Larger or high-profile events (sneak previews, tributes) are in Spaulding Auditorium (900 seats).
