It's finally feeling like the prequel that summertime deserves, weather-wise, and rain, as of mid-April, is not in the forecast (though, yes, things can and do change this time of year).
This is just the sort of easygoing atmosphere that can put an aficionado of outdoor films in a movie mindset, the kind of mood that is all about starlit screenings and a bevy of themed nights.
Rooftop Cinema Club DTLA is going to deliver on both of those festive fronts in the coming months, thanks to a schedule that is bursting with moving stories, upbeat adventure, and holiday odes.
