Movie Matinee at the Kingsport Public Library
May 18 @ 2:00 pm - 5:00 pm
The Kingsport Public Library’s summer movie series has returned this year, offering families a free Saturday afternoon matinee of high adventure, animated fun and a free bag of popcorn.
The free movies will be shown from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. in the first-floor auditorium of the library on May 18, June 15 and July 6, so be sure to mark your calendars.
The summer movie series kicks off May 18th with an archaeological adventure in the desert, when an American serving in the French Foreign Legion accidentally awakens a mummy, who then begins the search for his long-lost love. This 1999 film stars Brendan Frazier, Rachel Weisz, John Hannah and Arnold Vosloo.
On June 15, the library will be showing a 2023 animated movie about a young girl who makes a wish upon a star and gets more than she bargained for when a trouble-making star comes down from the sky to join her. The film stars the voice-talents of Ariana DeBose, Chris Pine, Alan Tudyk and Angelique Cabral.
Finally, on July 6 the library returns to the world of archaeology with the classic 1981 film about an adventuring professor in a race against Nazis to find the Ark of the Covenant. The film stars Harrison Ford, Karen Allen, Paul Freeman and John Rhys-Davies.
