Screen on the Green, the City of Hartsville’s free outdoor movie series, will continue its 2013 season at Burry Park this Saturday with a showing of “Earth, by Disneynature,” sponsored by Sonoco Recycling.
Released in 2009 by the Disneynature division of Walt Disney Studios, this nature documentary tells the story of many species of animals living across the earth over the course of a year. Highlighted animals include a family of polar bears in the Arctic Ocean seeking hunting grounds during the spring ice thaw, African bush elephants traveling to their watering holes through the dust storms of the Kalahari Desert, and humpback whales traveling on a long journey from the tropics to their feeding grounds near Antarctica. These creatures and many others are filmed in vivid clarity in a film narrated by James Earl Jones.
The Screen on the Green series is designed to provide more opportunities for family fun in downtown Hartsville during the summer. The showings use an inflatable 25-foot screen to project movies which begin after sunset, a time coming after 8:30 p.m. this Saturday. In the event of rain, the showings are relocated to the Coach T.B. Thomas Sports Center at Byerly Park, found at 701 W. Washington St.
The Screen on the Green series is far from over after this Saturday’s movie. “Brave” will be showing in Burry Park on July 20, sponsored by Duke Energy. The season will close on Aug. 17 with a showing of “The Princess Bride,” sponsored by the Landmark Inn.
