If the recession's cut your entertainment budget, there's plenty of freebies on offer as the big screen moves outdoors.
The ninth annual Free-B Film Festival runs six flicks over four weekends in Beacon Hill Park. The event kicks off Aug. 7 with a 3-D flick called Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Viewing glasses are provided and shows start at 9 p.m. at the Cameron bandshell. It's all part of the Victoria Film Festival, whose main 10-day event runs in February.
If viewing from a sleeping bag on the ground is a little too close to nature, a drive-in may be more your style.
Mayfair Shopping Centre is holding its summer movie series in the mall's eastern parking lot, starting Aug. 6 with the movie ET. The Thursday-night series runs over three weeks. The movies are free, but anyone interested must stop by the mall for a pass the weekend previous.
To find out more about the flicks offered by the Free-B Film Festival, go to www.victoriafilmfestival.com.
