Outdoor Movies at St. Gregory’s

PARSIPPANY — Outdoor cinema makes a return to Parsippany on Saturday, October 17, as the Films For Thought Series kicks off at Saint Gregory’s Episcopal Church with a screening of beloved cartoons from the Sixties and Seventies. Besides being outdoors (weather permitting) the most notable aspect of the evening will be that it features projection from real film, just like at the drive in theaters of old. Due to the proliferation of digital media, film projection, especially of cartoons, is a phenomenon that most kids have never experienced. “We know that technology marches on but we want to provide an opportunity for young people to experience the depth and clarity of real film projection before its gone forever,” said event mastermind, Dave Sica. “Plus these cartoons are classics and worth a watch in their own right.”

Event organizers will employ a giant, inflatable movie screen, 16mm projectors and state of the art sound to enhance the experience. Kids of all ages are welcome. Admission is free. Lawn chairs and blankets are recommended. The first cartoon will be shown at 7:00 p.m.

Hot cider, coffee and light snacks will be available for purchase. If the weather does not cooperate the event will be re-located inside as the Series has done in the past. Saint Gregory’s is located at 480 S. Beverwyck Road.

For more information please call the church office at 973-887-5879.
