Eighth Year of Outdoor Films under Atlanta’s Night Sky to Feature Casablanca, Car Wash, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Funny Girl & E.T.

Find the flip-flops and unpack the cargo shorts: Atlanta’s favorite weekly summertime experience, Screen on the Green, is coming back for an eighth year at sunset Thursday, May 31, in beautiful Piedmont Park. Turner Classic Movies and Piedmont Park Conservancy will kick off the annual film festival, which last year hosted more than 75,000 moviegoers, with one of the most romantic films of all time – Casablanca (1942), starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.

In association with Turner Broadcasting, Comcast, DaveFM and AirTran, TCM and Piedmont Park Conservancy once again will offer Atlantans five consecutive Thursday evenings perfect for picnicking with friends or family on a swath of manicured park land in front of a 45-by-24-foot movie screen. The complete viewing schedule for 2007 is as follows:

May 31 Casablanca
June 7 Car Wash
June 14 Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
June 21 Funny Girl
June 28 E.T.

Piedmont Park’s “meadow” area, directly behind The Park Tavern, will play host to Screen on the Green’s five-week run. The nearest park entrance to the screening area is located at 10th Street and Monroe Drive. Local bands will start playing at approximately 7 p.m. and all movies begin at sunset, approximately 9 p.m.

For more information, visit the Web site at tcmscreenonthegreen.com beginning May 1st. As a consideration to others, Screen on the Green moviegoers are asked to leave pets at home. Umbrellas and high-backed chairs are strongly discouraged to allow visibility for all viewers. Grills of any sort are strictly prohibited.

Piedmont Park Conservancy is a member and donor funded nonprofit organization working in partnership with the City of Atlanta, to maintain and enhance historic Piedmont Park. Founded in 1989, the Conservancy has raised and invested more than $23 million in private funds for Park improvements, and today manages over 90% of the overall Park maintenance and security. The Conservancy also fosters future stewardship of Piedmont Park through its Environmental Education programs, aimed at K-12 students and helps build community with programs such as the Green Market and Screen on the Green. A nationally recognized model for public-private partnerships, the Conservancy uses solid sustainability practices; renting out the facilities it manages and owns. It also provides thousands of donors and volunteers annually creative opportunities to give their support.
