(5228 Gravois Avenue, 314-221-2173) opens for the season this week, and local fans of film and fun are rejoicing. The Arkadin was meant to be St. Louis’ hippest microcinema, but when the small space became an issue during COVID-19, business owners Sarah Baraba and Keith Watson pivoted to outdoor movie nights to allow for social distancing. The al fresco film series was a hit, and so it’s returning this spring to the backlot of The Heavy Anchor
(5226 Gravois Avenue), neighbors of Arkadin. In addition to showing one David Lynch film per month in honor of the filmmaker s 75th birthday, this season the owners are also programing a series of movies that were filmed in St. Louis or have roots in town.
