Last night, Victoria residents and visitors were treated to the first Victoria Film Festival “Free-B Film Festival” screening of the summer!
Families, couples, friends and passing tourists began to gather on the lawns of the legislature just, as a glorious Victoria sunset warmed the inner harbour. The screen was raised and despite a few minor glitches that delayed the 9pm showing, the 1969 Adam West classic, Batman, hit the screen.
There is nothing that compares to the shared experience of an outdoor movie. The gentle evening breeze, twinkling lights of the Legislative Buildings, a blanket and that moment when dozens of strangers burst into united laughter!
The atmosphere was warm even as the temperature dropped. A good reminder to bring that extra blanket! Special thanks go out to the kind strangers that lent our photographer a spare!
The next showing is The Princess Bride in Beacon Hill Park tonight, at 9pm. Bring snacks! (Like these yummy Rogers chocolates picked up on our government street stroll in…)
