Street Movies! presented by PNC Arts Alive

”LIKE" STREET MOVIES ON FACEBOOK

Inspired by the tradition of outdoor screenings at African film festivals and Philadelphia's street theater movement of the 1960s, Scribe created Street Movies! Now a summer tradition across the city, neighbors gather, lawn chairs and blankets in hand, to enjoy drive-ins without cars. This year’s exciting line-up of animated, documentary, experimental and youth-produced films focuses on themes of environmental justice, the lives of new immigrants, finding good healthy foods, and honoring urban green spaces. Programs start at 7:45PM
