RBG @ Jim Santy Auditorium (Park City Library Building)
Friday & Saturday → 8 PM
Sunday → 6 PM (panel to follow)
At the age of 85, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has become a truly unexpected pop culture icon – all while developing a breathtaking legal legacy. RBG is a documentary which takes you on the unique personal journey (called a “fist-bumping, crowd-pleasing doc” by Indiewire) of this quiet warrior and her rise to the nation’s highest court.
On Sunday, there will be a post-film panel with Utah Supreme Court Justice Paige Peterson, University of Utah Law Professor Erika George, and ACLU of Utah Legislative and Policy Counsel Marina Lowe. KPCW News Director Leslie Thatcher will moderate.

The Park City Film Series is a nonprofit organization presenting the best of independent feature, documentary, world and local cinema. Our mission is to create community through film.

Friday & Saturday → 8 PM
Sunday → 6 PM
Al Jardin’s mini-tour, “From the Very First Song with a Founding Member of the Beach Boys,” features songs and stories from the early days of The Beach Boys all the way through Al’s most recent solo album, “A Postcard from California.” He’ll be joined by his son, Matt Jardine, and Jeff Alan Ross. We’re told there will be lots of chances for Q & A, too!
Improvised Fairy Tales @ Park City Library
Saturday, June 9 → 3 – 4 PM
More family fun at Park City Library on Saturday, when Park City Improv will turn your favorite fairy tales on their head. We’re excited (and a little bit nervous?) for this one.
