The free Loft Kids Fest will include eight screenings at The Loft through July 16, and a Looney Tunes outdoor screening party at Himmel Park this Friday.
Loft Cinema program director Jeff Yanc truly believes that it’s not just the nine days of free movies that keep families coming back to Loft Kids Fest year after year.
The festival will showcase eight movies, both animated and live action, screened at the theater, 3233 E. Speedway, on Saturdays and Sundays through July 16. “It was pretty huge,” Yanc said. “Because they are Looney Tunes shorts, they are good for attention spans. You can watch a 10-minute short, then wander away.”
“You want films that have cross appeal with parents and kids,” Yanc said. “So that parents don’t feel like they are being dragged to something they don’t want to watch. Parents love 'The Sandlot.' You get that cross-generational excitement going.”
