Images Cinema's Summer Outdoor Movie Series| 09:07AM / Wednesday, June 28, 2023 | |
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — Images Cinema will present their annual all-ages Under the Stars summer outdoor movie series this July on four consecutive Sunday nights starting at sundown (around 8pm).
Concessions will be available onsite. Movies are free to attend. The audience is invited to bring chairs and blankets, picnics, bug spray.
"Images Cinema is excited to bring back Images Under the Stars, our annual outdoor all-ages film series in the heart of Williamstown," said Executive Director Dan Hudson. "This year we're dropping the 'Family Flicks' but we're keeping the 'Under the Stars.' Rest assured we're not changing the secret sauce of what makes this series a must-see!"
Three things of special note to highlight by way of a new and improved Under the Stars experience this year:
? With funding from the Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation's Fund for Williamstown, and with the collaboration of the Clark Art Institute, new equipment will significantly upgrade the audio visual experience for attendees.
? The movie lineup is expanded to include four films for the first time since 2016!
? The screening location has moved to the Williams Science Quad, just up the hill and around the corner from our previous location at the Morgan Lawn. This space provides some more amphitheater-like sightlines and acoustics, as well as more privacy from the highway.
Images Under the Stars in an event for everyone — locals from Williamstown and beyond, families with children, summertime visitors to our beautiful community, and more. This all-inclusive community gathering captures the spirit of summer life in the Berkshires, thanks to the support of local businesses during the height of the summer season.
Images Cinema is grateful to our presenting sponsors this year, Donovan O'Connor & Dodig, LLP and the Williamstown Cultural District. Images Cinema acknowledges the support of many fine Northern Berkshire businesses, without which this free community programming would not be possible: Camp Northwest Hill, The Spring Street Market & Cafe, the Clark Art Institute, Adams Community Bank, Ramunto's Brick Oven Pizza at The Log, Maple Terrace Motel, Blue Mango Thai and Japanese Cuisine, Pine Cobble School, and The Plant Connector.
Additional support comes from Spice Root, The Chef's Hat, The Porches Inn, The Airport Rooms, Greylock Gallery, Wild Oats Market, Burnham Gold Real Estate, Tasha Yoga, and rkMiles.
