2024 Summer Outdoor Film Series

Films at Liberty Park and special outdoor screenings

Get ready to soak up the summer vibes at Utah Film Center’s Summer Outdoor Film Series! We’re back at Liberty Park for five movie nights in July and August, showcasing an exciting lineup of curated cinematic stories. The best part? It’s free and open to everyone!

This summer we are highlighting our annual programs. Black, Bold & Brilliant kicks off our series with the award-winning Sundance documentary of solidarity and song, Searching for Sugar Man. Then we move into the existentially delightful and locally produced, Nine Days, from our Artist Foundry’s Utah Filmmaker Showcase in celebration of Utah Film Commission’s 100th anniversary.

The next stop is our Tumbleweeds Film Festival for Kids and their electrifying Oscar-nominated movie selection, Robot Dreams, then our Artist Foundry’s second showcase screening follows with a collection of local short films. We wrap up with the drag-tastic musical, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, from our Utah Queer Film Festival. Each screening also includes a locally made short film before the feature.

Everybody’s Talking About Jamie

Jamie New is a 16-year-old who doesn’t quite fit in. Instead of pursuing a traditional career, he dreams of becoming a drag queen. Uncertain about his future, Jamie knows one thing for sure — he’s going to be a sensation.
