Pass the Popcorn

Release Date: Wednesday, July 6th 2011

After a hard day’s work, grab a blanket and head, not for the hills, but for the proximity of the National Mall. Screen on the Green, a favorite DC summertime tradition, returns there on Monday, July 25, for its 13th year. The festival—did we mention it’s free?—will revisit classic films such as In the Heat of the Night before ending on Monday, August 15.  Festival screenings, sponsored by the Friends of Screen on the Green, HBO, and Comcast, will take place further west this year, between 8th and 14th Streets, as portions of the Mall undergo a facelift.
