Looking for something fun to do with your family next Friday?  The Park School of Communications and the Ithaca Motion Picture Project invite you and your family to a night at the movies.

At the Movies: Why Ithaca Was Once Called "Hollywood East"
5:45 pm - 6:45 pm
Park Auditorium

From 1911 to 1923, more than 100 silent films were directed and produced in Ithaca. Rod Serling, creator of the popular television show The Twilight Zone, taught courses on creativity at Ithaca College. Join us for a short film about why movies were made in Ithaca and a screening of a Twilight Zone episode referencing our town.

Popcorn will be provided!
