Based on the Alice Hoffman novel!  Sally and Gillian Owens have always known they were different.  Raised by their aunts after their parents’ death, the sisters grew up in a household that was anything but typical — their aunts fed them chocolate cake for breakfast and taught them the uses of practical magic.  But the invocation of the Owens’ sorcery also carries a price — some call it a curse: the men they fall in love with are doomed to an untimely death.  Now adult women with very different personalities, the quiet Sally and the fiery Gillian must use all of their powers to fight the family curse and a swarm of supernatural forces that threatens the lives of all the Owens women.

“Packed with titular magic but not only — it contains an empowering narrative, highlights the importance of sisterhood, and discusses how difficult it is to walk away from domestic abuse.” –  Zofia Wijaszka, The Film Nerdette

“From blood moons to self-stirring spoons and long luscious locks, the Owens women are a magical brood.” – Sezín Koehler, Black Girl Nerds

The Guild Cinema is located at 3405 Central Ave NE in the Nob Hill area.
