A new trend, according to the New York Times, brings movie goers outdoors. Outdoor film festivals are cropping up all over the place and across the country.
The longest running of these festivals is the Bryant Park Film Festival held every summer. The event, whose full name is The HBO Bryant Park Film Festival, will be embarking on its 16th year this summer. Each Monday during the summer, films will be shown to picnicking crowds in NYC, leading off with Dr. No, a classic James Bond film. HBO also holds a shorter festival in DC called Screen on the Green.
Almost as old, the San Diego Maritime Museum's Movie Before The Mast features films with nautical themes like The Bounty. Films are projected onto a specially rigged sail as an audience watches from the deck of the famous Star of India.
Chicago hosts another well known festival. The City of Chicago is very proud of its annual festival which shows films in Grant Park every Tuesday starting in July.
And Los Angeles -- Movie Capital, USA -- offers the location to several different outdoor movie festivals, including one in The Backyard at the W Hotel and another eerily held on the grounds of the Hollywood Forever Cemetery.
With so many available in these cities, it should be easy to find an outdoor film showing in your neck of the woods. You just have to keep your eyes open.
