THE FILMMOBILE: A SALUTE TO EDENDALE, THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF ECHO PARK’S FIRST FILM STUDIO

The time has come to out the summer’s best kept secret: the Echo Park Film Center’s free outdoor screenings on the Filmmobile. As part of its program to show films in the locales they were shot, the Filmmobile will be parked by Echo Park Lake for “A Salute to Edendale.” The celebration of the 100th anniversary of Echo Park’s first film studio will include such gems as Charlie Chaplin’s “Mabel’s Married Life,” Harold Lloyd’s “Lonesome Luke” and the Keystone Cops in “A Muddy Romance.” These locally filmed classics will be brought to life with live musical scores by Professor Cantaloupe, The Grizzly Owls and Magic Gas. The evening will be topped off with free snacks, bingo, a giant bunny and general Echo Park Film Center tomfoolery.

WHEN: 7pm
ADMISSION: Free
WHERE: The Echo Park Film Center’s FILMMOBILE
ADDRESS: Filmmobile will be parked at the north end of Echo Park beside the lake
