Future screenings are expected to be programmed, with Fresh Blue Entertainment aiming to take its Chinese-language approach to free open air movie screenings nationwide in predominantly Chinese language communities. Its goal is for families and friends to enjoy a community event, learn more about Chinese language films and filmmakers, and allow access to free entertainment. Movie Picnic Night’s summer season runs June through August with special select showings throughout the remainder of the year.
