Welcome to CINEMA SUMMER 2023, Junktown Cinema Club’s FREE nomadic summer film screening series!
From May 20th to July 1st, 2023, join us every Saturday (excluding Memorial Day weekend) in locations across the Grand Valley to experience a diverse program of classic, independent, international, and local films. You can learn more about the films we’re showing this summer through our program, linked here. We hope this film series is eye-opening, thought-provoking, and also a way to highlight our region’s vibrant artistic spaces and institutions!
Since some screenings are indoors this year, seating is limited ~ see below for our full line-up of films + links to RSVP for those indoor films via Eventbrite!
NOTE: No need to wear a mask, but we will always remain a mask-friendly & social-distancing-friendly space. 🙂
