We Love You, Marvelous Movie Mondays!
EPFC | August 5th, 2020
Starting August 1, 2020, MARVELOUS MOVIE MONDAYS is going on indefinite hiatus. It’s been nine fun years (almost eight of those with monthly guest curators). We’re in a time of intense change right now, and I’ve decided to pause MMM for now so I can take the time to regroup, listen, think, and figure out new ways forward. A huge thank you to Nicole Elaine, MMM’s guest curator for the past two months. And so much love to all of the wonderful artists who been the backbone of MMM as guest curators these past several years (find the whole list of guest curators and the themes they selected further down in this post!!). None of this would have been possible without your generosity and enthusiasm. Thank you for being part of this project and for sharing your love of cinema with the EPFC community!!! Thank you as well to Echo Park Film Center for being so supportive of #marvelousmoviemondays from day one. And thank you to all who have engaged with these posts over the years!!!! With gratitude, Kate Lain. Let’s see where we go from here!
