The Best of the Fests Film Series

Best of the Fests will return in the fall of 2008. This summer, we'll be showing Emerging Legends Film Series

The American Film Institute defines “an American screen legend” as an actor or a team of actors with a significant screen presence in American feature-length films whose screen debut occurred in or before 1950. Join us this summer as we screen debut or early films of these legends: Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, Spencer Tracy, Audrey Hepburn, Bette Davis, Elizabeth Taylor, and the duos of Katharine Hepburn & Cary Grant, and Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers. Screenings are on Fridays at 7:00 p.m. See the film schedule.
