Happy Earth Day from Laemmle Theatres!

April 20, 2020 by Gabriel Laemmle

[JUMP TO FILMS]

Dear Laemmle Fans,

Wednesday, April 22 marks the 50th anniversary of the first Earth Day. Although much has been accomplished in the years since, it’s important to step back and remember all the serious environmental issues that we will still need to address after this pandemic passes. So to honor Earth Day, Laemmle Virtual Cinema is bringing you films from around the globe that remind us to show respect to our planet, and find ways to connect with the natural word.

Eating Up Easter examines the history of exploitation and social collapse on Easter Island, while offering hopeful lessons for the future. Away, crafted singlehandedly by 25 year old filmmaker Gints Zilbalodis, is an animated feast for the eyes, and an awe-inspiring portrait of nature. The Women’s Adventure Film Tour is a compilation of short films celebrating women who connect with the outdoors in their pursuit of athletic mastery. And finally, we want to remind you that Fantastic Fungi is still available for viewing via the Laemmle Virtual Cinema program.

Even if you’re holed up indoors, find a way to celebrate Earth Day on Wednesday. Mother Earth (and Laemmle Theatres) will thank you.

All the best,

Greg Laemmle
