Cinespia screenings happen year-round in L.A., and no time of year provides a more perfect backdrop than the summer months. L.A. Weekly has your exclusive first look at this year's lineup for June, and it's a mixed bag of comedy, thrillers and adventure, sure to offer some fun settings and props for the event's popular photo booth, not to mention opening music sets by L.A.'s best DJs. It's the little extras and historic surroundings that set this gathering apart from other outdoor screening series (Cinespia was the first, and it's the longest running, by the way), but the films are always the main event. So without further ado, here, according to organizers John Wyatt and Alia Penner, is how Cinespia is kicking off another cinematic summer in Los Angeles.
