Movie Night On Elmwood
Many Buffalonians were saddened when they heard that their cherished Italian Movie Night, hosted by Cinema Sotto le Stelle, would not be returning this summer. The non-profit organization is taking a much needed break, but while they are vacationing, the Unitarian Universalists Church has decided to carry on the tradition, with Movie Night on Elmwood.
“We didn't want to trespass on Cinema Sotto le Stelle's turf, so instead of showing Italian movies, which they do better than anyone, we're showing oldies," said Vincent Kuntz, a member of the Unitarian-Universalist Church and movie organizer.  The event will take place every Friday, at dusk, for the month of July. Volunteers will be setting up in the yard between the Church and M&T Bank on Elmwood just north of West Ferry.
"Movie Night on Elmwood' will feature classics from the silent era up to the film noir period," promises Cynthia Van Ness, movie organizer. "Since we didn't have the time or backing to negotiate rights and royalties, we selected a program that, according to good faith research, features films that are now in the public domain." A schedule is underway and will be released shortly.
Movie Night on Elmwood is free of charge, so the Church welcomes the public to join the crowd; blankets, lawn chairs and children in tow.
