Focus on Film

Hot Fun in the Summertime, UCSB Arts & Lectures’ return to its weekly series of classic movies projected onto a huge inflatable screen at the Santa Barbara County Courthouse Sunken Garden, returns for the first time in three years. Monster hits and cult favorites are among the summer-inspired buddy and adventure films that range from silly comedy to thrilling dramas, kicking off with the even-more-nostalgic-now American Graffiti on July 8. Dirty Dancing, Thelma & Louise, The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, Moonrise Kingdom, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,and In the Heights follow, screening at 8:30 pm each Friday night through August 26 save for Fiesta week. Free admission. Picnics, permeable blankets (no plastic/nylon/tarps) and low-backed chairs are encouraged, with set up beginning at 12 noon.
