Mean Streets (1973) is a crime drama directed by Martin Scorsese. The film follows Charlie (Harvey Keitel), a small-time hood trying to move up in the local Mafia, and his reckless friend Johnny Boy (Robert De Niro). Set in New York’s Little Italy, the film explores themes of loyalty, redemption, and the harsh realities of street life. Scorsese’s dynamic direction and the powerful performances by Keitel and De Niro make Mean Streets a landmark in American cinema.

Fort Worth Film Club was founded in 2022 after the closing of Fort Worth’s lone art house theater: The Grand Berry Theater. Continuing what the Grand Berry started, the newly branded Fort Worth Film Club’s goal is to build a community in Fort Worth around a shared love of film. To that end, we host monthly, free to the public, screenings of movies, aiming for those with cultural and local importance, with a moderated discussion held directly after the movie. In addition, we have Patron only screenings and dinners as well as online screenings during the month typically associated with our signature event.
