It’s so exciting to see it being restored to its original size and good to know it is now all LED, making it more environmentally friendly. Thank you to everyone who helped make the 13th annual Loft Kids Fest a success. More than 1000 people enjoyed Looney Tunes on our solar-powered screen at Himmel Park at our opening night party! Our incredible staff and volunteers make sure every child has a great experience. Loft Kids Fest is definitely one of our favorite Loft events! I’m so excited to have The Farewell opening on August 2nd. It’s my personal favorite film of the year (so far) and apparently a lot of other people feel the same way from the reviews and the response from audiences. (100% on Rotten Tomatoes!) Awkwafina has won my heart! In August we are honoring one of the first female filmmakers, Ida Lupino, a trailblazer who was one of the only women directors working in Hollywood during the 1950s. As always, you’ll find a lot of great films and events in the pages of this month’s film guide! Enjoy!
