Albany Area Films & Fun

Howdy, Haley BCU here! 👋 This is a series of free family-friendly films sponsored by Love Albany that include free popcorn, activites, and the like. My husband and I take our cat Elwood to these events all the time (no kids or cats required, though! 💕) and they're so much fun!

This feature, A Minecraft Movie, is a blast and has an incomparable/insane score from Mark Mothersbaugh (of DEVO) that you won't soon forget. I refuse to spoil this movie for anyone who hasn't seen it—suffice to say this is a film for everyone & catching it on a big screen with an excited crowd is the way.

When we meet, you won't be able to miss me because I'll (likely) be the only one with a cat in a stroller.
