Written, directed, and starring Eva Victor, critics are calling Sorry, Baby one of the best films of the 2020s. In her directorial debut, Victor finds a delicate balance between the heavy subject matter and dark biting humor, which feels honest and truly authentic.

We are excited to bring back Monday Movie Night on October 27th with a warm, big-hearted crowdpleaser! Join us at 6:30 PM at the Galaxy Theatres Gig Harbor for an uplifting evening featuring the documentary Folktales.
Folktales tells the timely and heartwarming story of teenagers who choose to spend an unconventional “gap year” learning to dog sled and survive the Arctic wilderness, in hopes of finding connection and meaning in the modern world. Guided by patient teachers and a yard full of heroic Alaskan huskies, they discover their own potential and develop deep relationships with the land, animals, and humans around them.
Oscar®-nominated filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady dazzle with this life-affirming documentary. With intimate storytelling and breathtaking cinematography, Ewing and Grady examine humans on the cusp of adulthood, finding themselves at the edge of the world.

NOVEMBER Monday Movie Night- Don't Let's Go to the Dogs Tonight
2025-11-24 18:30 - 21:30 | The Galaxy Uptown Theatre, 4649 Point Fosdick Dr NW, Gig Harbor, WA, 98335, United States
Mark your calendars for the next Monday Movie Night! Monday, November 24th at 6:30pm, we invite you to a special screening of Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight.
Based on the best-selling memoir of the same name, Don’t Let’s Go to the Dogs Tonight depicts 8-year-old Bobo’s life on her family’s Rhodesian farm during the final stages of the Bush Wars. The film explores the family’s unbreakable bond with Africa’s land and the war’s impact on the region and individuals, as seen through the eyes of a child.
In her captivating directorial debut, Embeth Davidtz, who also stars in the film, draws a wildly energetic performance from her young lead, Lexi Venter. With the support of an incredible ensemble cast, Davidtz crafts a thought-provoking story that explores a complex chapter in Africa’s history, told— thorns and all—from the perspective of a little girl.
(This film is rated R.)

JANUARY- Monday Movie Night - Double Feature - EVERY LITTLE THING and THE BIRD IN MY BACKYARD
2026-01-26 18:30 - 22:00 | The Galaxy Uptown Theatre, 4649 Point Fosdick Dr NW, Gig Harbor, WA, 98335, United States
Happy New Year, Gig Harbor Film Fans!
We are back with a very special Monday Movie Night, which we have dubbed “Hummingbird Night!” Join us Monday, January 26th at 6:30pm, for a screening of Every Little Thing preceded by the short film The Bird in My Backyard. Everyone in attendance at Galaxy Theatres Gig Harbor will be entered into a raffle for a Hummingbird-themed gift basket.
Full of joy and wonder, Every Little Thing offers some profound truths in a deceptively simple story. The documentary follows Terry Masear, the founder of Los Angeles Hummingbird Rescue, as she cares for injured hummingbirds. Witnessing the fragility and resilience of the tiny creatures, she experiences her own personal growth. Baby Hummingbirds, Cactus, and Wasabi captivate and will have audiencescelebrating their tiny victories and lamenting their tragedies. With breathtaking slow-motion photography and beautiful storytelling, the film serves as a reminder that in the smallest acts, and in the tiniest of creatures, we might find grace.
Before our feature film, we will screen The Bird in My Backyard, a favorite from last year’s festival. In an urban backyard on Canada’s West Coast, a window salesman has created a living laboratory for investigating hummingbird behavior. The Bird in My Backyard follows citizen scientist Eric Pittman as he documents the journeys of two hummingbirds as they attempt to raise their young in his urban garden. It’s a story about the childlike curiosity in all of us, the wonders it can reveal, and the doors it can open if we just lean in a bit closer.
