Summer Cinema with Norris

Summer Cinema is Northwestern University’s summer movie series sponsored by the Office of Summer Sessions and Norris University Center. 

Films will be screened at dusk (around 7:30-8:00pm) at Kahn Pavilion on Cohen Lawn at Norris University Center. Fun family activities, such as glitter artists, free glowsticks, free blankets, and popcorn will be available one hour before the movie! Check-in begins at 6:30pm. 

Movie goers are encouraged to bring their lawn chairs and blankets. Free parking is available after 4:00 PM in the two-level lakeside lot south of Norris. 

Luna's Pub and Grill will be open for food and refreshments each evening. 

In the event of severe weather, Summer Cinema will be moved inside McCormick, on Floor 1 in Norris. The film will begin at 7:15pm.  You will be notified via email on or before the day of the event should it take place indoors.

Program is free and open to all.
