Movie Night on Elmwood Returns

If you happened to miss the first two, then be sure to make the next two. Friday night movie nights that is. Cinema Sotto le Stelle, the city's favorite Italian outdoor movie series, has been postponed for one summer, and in its place a series of silents and oldies has filled in. Cinema rolls every Friday in July at the Unitarian-Universalist Church's side lawn (next to M&T Bank-Elmwood and West Ferry). There, movie-goers can unroll a blanket and break out a picnic basket while enjoying the two remaining picks.
The movie schedule can be found on BuffaloResearch.com, and the group's final two selections are: This Friday guests will be treated to a Charlie Chaplin Film Festival (1917). There will be four shorts shown that evening. The following week's selection will feature the film Duke is Tops (1938) starring Cab Calloway and debuting Lena Horne (July 27th).
As a special bonus, screenings will showcase rarely seen, short, made-in-Buffalo documentaries before each film. The movies generally begin at 9:30, but make sure that you get there early to snag a good spot and catch the pre-show. Sponsored by the Unitarian-Universalist Church.

As we mentioned in our previous post, we’re in the process of changing the Buffalo Rising site. We’re almost there as we expect to launch the new site on Friday, December 19th.
In the meantime, posting will be light as we log new stories in the new publishing system which will only be viewable when we launch on Friday.
As always, we appreciate our users’ patience as we make this transition but we promise it will be well worth it. With faster load times, a comment view …
