English translation:Film Festival
Explanation:
if it had more than 1 film, you could easily say "film festival". I am not sure if "festival" applies for single film but i am sure both "an evening of cinema" or "an evening of film" sound weak.

this is after the film screening العرض الأول and the premier العرض الافتتاحي

--------------------------------------------------

screening هو العرض الأول للفيلم الذي يقيمه منتج الفيلم لعرض الفيلم على طاقم العمل وأصدقائهم المقربين من الفنانيين وهوبمثابة العرض النجريبي للفيلم وليس حفلة عرض على الجمهور.

As to your final note above, movie showing event will be the right term to use.

Movie Festivity / Movie Celebration


Explanation:
Festivity احتفالية is different than "Festival=مهرجان". ,
