The Ojai Film Society is presenting its Summer Series on alternate Fridays from July 25 through October 3. The event invites audiences to gather under the stars at the Libbey Bowl for six evenings of film, imagination, and community connection.

The popular summer season of movies returns with six free screenings.

It’s a way to foster a love of film in a magical setting.

The Ojai Film Society’s Summer Series combines inspirational movies, film-maker Q&As, and movie enthusiasts.

"This year's theme is 'Imagine a World,'" explained Brady Hahn, Ojai Film Society Vice President.

She said the theme is about inspiring courage, creativity, and connection.

"'Imagine a World' was really about thinking of the ways in which we individually think about ourselves and our place in the world, and about what the world looks like as it is and what it could look like if we build that future together," said Hahn.

Other films in the summer lineup include The Neverending Story, 9 to 5, and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

The Summer Series kicks off on July 25 with Sally. Each screening begins at 7:30 p.m. at the Libbey Bowl and is free and open to the public. Walk-ups are welcome, and RSVPs are encouraged via Eventbrite.
