From announcement:

(This Friday at 7pm) join us in Pleasants Park for the final movie of our 24th season of our Oregon Hill Community Movies for a showing of Robert Redford’s The Natural.
The Natural is a 1984 American sports drama film starring Robert Redford as Roy Hobbs, a gifted, but troubled, baseball player. Directed by Barry Levinson and based on the 1952 novel by Bernard Malamud, the movie is known for its mythic, romanticized portrayal of baseball and its dramatic, feel-good ending.
As always, free refreshments served: grilled hotdogs, sides, desserts, and beverages.

Editor’s note: Actor Robert Redford, a true ‘movie star’, passed away earlier this month. He will be remembered for a magnificent body of work, but he will also be fondly remembered for 1) his environmentalism, 2) his support for young and emerging movie talent.

Now there is an upcoming event that is celebrating Richmond in the movies.

Called “Richmond on Film: A City in the Spotlight”, it takes place this Thursday at 5:30 pm at the Richmond Public Library’s Main Library (Oregon Hill’s public library), in its Gellman Room.

Richmond has been a backdrop for a variety of films, from Hollywood blockbusters to independent projects. Join us for a screening event where we’ll showcase clips from films shot in Richmond, as well as a feature set and filmed here. Explore how our city is portrayed on screen and the difference between films set in Richmond vs. those filmed here.

We’ll also introduce you to our Digital Archive, where we invite YOU to contribute your own photos and videos of Richmond, capturing the real-life scenes that reflect our city’s authentic history.
