The American Visionary Art Museum’s Flicks From The Hill film series will return this week – but with a twist.
Traditionally held on the Federal Hill Park hillside along Covington Street behind the museum, this year’s films will be shown within AVAM’s walls.
The reason for the location change is the ongoing construction at Federal Hill Park to repair a portion of sidewalk that was damaged by a soil slide in 2019, SouthBmore reported.
“We appreciate your understanding, and hope you’ll join us in making the most of an unexpected change in plans. While we’re no longer under the stars, we’ll at least be out of the heat!” AVAM officials wrote on the museum’s website.
Movies will be shown on the third floor of the Jim Rouse Visionary Center, starting at 8:30 p.m. each of the remaining Thursday nights in July.
Museum admission will be free from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. on film nights. There will also be free themed activities before each movie showing.
Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets or chairs, though chairs will also be provided.
The schedule of movie showings is as follows:
- July 10: “Rocky” (1976) – pre-film activity will be a medal-making workshop
- July 17: “Remember The Titans” (2000) – pre-film activity will be a foam finger-decorating workshop
- July 24: “Mighty Ducks” (1992) – pre-film activity will be trophy-making workshop
- July 31: “Toy Story” (1995) – pre-film activity will be a character trading card workshop
