Where to Watch Movies in Salt Lake City this Summer

Whether you’re into blockbusters or obscure indie films, the summertime is a movie lover’s dream. The City Cast Salt Lake team got together to talk about the best places to catch a movie this summer. Here are the highlights.

Utah Film Center Screenings at Liberty Park

The free summer series is already in full swing and features a great lineup. The movies start at 8 p.m. on Fridays and you can bring your own picnic. Host Ali Vallarta is most excited about “Fire of Love” and “Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo.”

Sundance Institute Local Lens Summer Lineup

It’s the summer Sundance edition just for Salt Lake locals. Check out the freediving thriller “The Deepest Breath.” Some of the screenings include Q&A sessions with special guests.

Lost & Found Club

The organization is a “women- and queer-led social club for making friends outside of religion” and they host cool meetups and events around the city. It’s undoubtedly one of the most unique ways to catch a movie this summer.

Redwood Drive-In

It doesn’t get much more classic than a summer night at the drive-in. The Redwood opened in 1948 and is one of around 400 drive-in movie theaters in the country.

Salt Lake Film Society Summer Showdown

SLFS pits cult classics against each other, and only one will be crowned champion of the summer. Screenings take place Fridays and Saturdays and include limited edition swag and giveaways.

Brewvies Salt Lake City

The genius cinema-pub destination just might be the best place to watch “Barbenheimmer” (the internet’s most anticipated double-feature of the summer). Grab a salty snack for “Oppenheimer” and a sweet one for “Barbie.”
