The LaFarge Kelleys Island Outdoor Film Festival enters its second year with a blockbuster schedule! Last year we entertained over 3000 people, and once again, admission is FREE for all!

“Thanks to our generous sponsors, we are so proud that the festival is back, and that we can again provide these great outdoor film experiences absolutely free of charge,” said festival co-producers Alan Glazen and Jackie Finger.

The festival raised over $4,000 for Kelleys Island emergency services and for the Kelleys Island Audubon Society last year, and will continue to donate 100% of all contributions to these fine organizations.

The festival will feature a 40 foot inflatable screen, digital projection and Dolby Digital surround sound. An added treat this year will be fireworks projected on the jumbo screen to start each evening.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 8
ET
1982 (2002 Special Edition Cut)
Directed by Stephen Spielberg
Starring Henry Thomas, Dee Wallace, Drew Barrymore, Robert MacNaughton

This is the film that changed everything. It beat STAR WARS’ box office record, and is absolutely one of----if not THE best family film ever made. “ET go home” was on the lips of every child in America, and brought tears of joy to everyone in every theater. Never has the word “ouch” touched more hearts, and rarely has an alien creature been portrayed in such a positive, heart-felt manner.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 9 (early show)
GREASE
1978
Directed by Randal Kleiser
Starring John Travolta, Olivia Newton-John, Stockard Channing, Frankie Avalon, Sid Caesar
Music by The Bee Gees and Frankie Valli

This is the one that everyone wants, over and over again. On Broadway, in theaters throughout the world, on television, everywhere, GREASE is still “the word!” We’re all still “hopelessly devoted,” and it’s no surprise. GREASE was the number one soundtrack album throughout the world, and many consider it the best musical in history. The world “goes together” with GREASE and always will. Seeing it outside on a giant screen is going to be amazing!


SATURDAY, AUGUST 9 (late show)
CASABLANCA
1941
Directed by Michael Cortiz
Starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Berman, Paul Henreid

Considered by many to be the greatest cinematic achievement of all time, most of today’s audiences have never seen Casablanca on a large screen. It won Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay in the 1941 Oscars. Casablanca has been televised more often than any picture ever. “Here’s looking at you kid,” “Play it, Sam, play it,” and “As Time Goes By” are some of the most memorable lines in the history of film. In short, Casablanca is a masterpiece, perhaps second only to “Citizen Kane” as the best feature film ever made.


SUNDAY, AUGUST 10
SHREK
2001
Directed by Andrew Adamson/Vicky Jenson
Starring (voices) Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Cameron Diaz, John Lithgow, Vincent Cassel

“The greatest fairy tale never told” was the first film to win an Oscar for “Best Animated Feature,” and is considered by some as second only to “ET” as best family picture ever. It was nominated for over 44 major awards, and won an amazing 29! Critically acclaimed as a thoroughly entertaining and inspiring family film, “SHREK” is a delight, standing alone in its appeal to people all ages.
