The Athenaeum's outdoor movie series, Flicks on the Bricks makes it possible for you to enjoy classic movies that you love while enjoying the beautiful summer night on the patio of the Athenaeum. In August, film critic and scholar Beth Accomando will return to host the 18th annual Flicks on the Bricks series. This year, she has chosen four political films.
Series tickets for the open-air theater include four memorable films: The Great McGinty (1940), Dr. Strangelove (1964), The Candidate (1972), and Election (1999). The film series is curated and presented by KPBS film critic, arts reporter, and host of the Cinema Junkie podcast, Beth Accomando. She also programs films for Film Geeks San Diego.
Popcorn is included with your ticket. Beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be available for purchase. Join the Athenaeum for its 18th year of hot summer fun!
