Wouldn't it be cool to sneak-preview movie festival hits, then discuss them with a film critic, industry insider, even the filmmakers themselves? Like a book club for cinephiles? That hookup is here: Talk Cinema lets you watch big prize winners before anyone else sees the trailers. Its founder, film journalist Harlan Jacobson, calls its risky, remarkable presentations "a curated series of surprises." Programs run annually, 14 Saturday mornings, fall to spring. At Edina Cinema, 3911 W. 50th St., Edina; 952-920-8796; talkcinema.com
