'The Holdovers' Screening At The Center For Arts Natick

NATICK, MA — It's not too often that an Oscar contender is shot entirely in Massachusetts. In Natick, there's a chance to see such a film this week.

The Center for Arts in Natick will host screenings of "The Holdovers" through Sunday. A Wednesday screening is free for members.

The film connects Paul Giamatti and director Alex Payne — who previously worked together on "Sideways" — for a Christmas story about three people stuck at a New England boarding school over a snowy winter break in 1970.

Scenes were mostly shot at Fairhaven High School, but other locations included Deerfield Academy, Groton School, St. Mark’s School and Northfield Mount Hermon School.

The film will be shown in the TCAN Cinema Room and tickets are $12.

Screening times are as follows:

• Wednesday, 7:30 p.m.
• Thursday, 7:30 p.m.
• Friday, 7:30 p.m.
• Saturday, 2 p.m.
• Sunday, 4 p.m.
