Vancouver Civic Theatres Presents: Summer on šxʷƛ̓exən Xwtl’a7shn
SUNSET CINEMA: FREE OUTDOOR MOVIES
Come enjoy a hit movie on our huge inflatable screen under the stars. Bring your blankets, chairs, and pillows, and we’ll provide the movies! On Wednesday evenings this August, join us on the outdoor plaza for four hit films. Bring the entire family, your friends, and your four-legged companions for a fun night out.
Movies begin shortly after sunset, weather permitting. Be sure to arrive early for pre-show entertainment and to save your spot!
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial - Wednesday Aug 14, 2024 starting at dusk
Hop on your bike and head to the moon – or to VCT’s beautiful plaza! Our partner Mobi joins us on-site for an ET-themed photo op.
E.T. is a 1982 American science fiction film produced and directed by Steven Spielberg. A boy named Elliott befriends an extraterrestrial, dubbed E.T., who is left behind on Earth. Along with his friends and family, Elliott must find a way to help E.T. find his way home. The film stars Dee Wallace, Henry Thomas, Peter Coyote, Robert MacNaughton and Drew Barrymore.
E.T. was a smash hit at the box office, surpassing Star Wars to become the highest-grossing film of all time, a record it held for eleven years until Spielberg's own Jurassic Park surpassed it in 1993. The film was near–universally acclaimed by critics and is regarded as one of the greatest films of all time. It received nine nominations at the 55th Academy Awards, winning Best Original Score, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound, and Best Sound Editing in addition to being nominated for Best Picture and Best Director.
