As for the free Films in Tompkins series that played on Thursday nights in previous summers ... well, as you may have figured by now, that is not going to happen this year. A rep for Howl! Arts confirmed this to us via email. We hope to have more on this later.

Howl's films were lame, anyway. It's good an organization with better taste is in charge now.
Looking forward to these. La Haine est tres tres bien. Tres. Did I see Tres? I said tres.
It rains every Thursday in the summer, anyway.
