This summer sit under the stars and enjoy a screening of the 1999 film The Venice Project (not rated) directed by Robert Dornhelm.
Filmed during the 1999 Venice Biennale, this drama offers witty commentary on the role of art in society. Dennis Hopper and Lauren Bacall portray aristocratic siblings whose dying father has bequeathed the family's art collection to the Italian government, while flashbacks to the exploits of an ancestor 200 years earlier draw connections to ever-evolving theories of art.
Grab a blanket, bring a few friends, and be sure to arrive early for a good seat on the lawn. Entry starts at 4:00 PM. Bring your own picnic dinner or order from Panama 66 (kitchen open until 5:00 PM, Grab-n-Go available until supplies last). lease note alcoholic beverages are allowed in Balboa Park until 8:00 PM Drinks purchased at Panama 66 cannot be taken out to the Botanical Lawn. Pets are allowed on the lawn. Films begin at sundown.
Due to popular demand, the Museum's summer film series has moved to the Botanical Garden east of the Museum to accommodate more attendees. Film in the Garden aims to complement and enhance the enjoyment and understanding of visual art through film and other art forms.
