(upbeat music) - Utah Film Center's Summer Outdoor Film Series brings free Friday night screenings to Liberty Park, celebrating local and cultural storytelling through film.

And here to tell us more is Russell Roots, the Director of Film Exhibition at the Utah Film Center.

Hi, Russell.

Always good to have you on.

- Thank you.

- Yeah, so you've already had one film at Liberty Park, and- - Yes, we did.

- Two more coming up.

- Yeah, by the time this airs, we'll have two more coming up, yes.

- All right, and I want you to tell us all about "The Riddle of Fire."

- Yes.

- Shot in Park City.

Tell us about it.

- Shot in Park City, cult classic in the making.

For those that remember films like "The Dark Crystal" and "The Secret of NIMH," where they're really emotionally complex films that feature younger audiences, it's a really amazing movie.

A bunch of local faces, local places, and a spirit that just won't stop.

- Oh, wow.

So it's got local actors in it too?

- Yes.

Yeah.

- All right, and who's the filmmaker?

- The filmmaker is Weston Razooli.

- [Mary] Hmm, okay.

- Real interesting character.

Great film though.

- All right, and so that shows at what time?

I know it's dusk, but about what, 9:15?

- Yeah, dusk around 9:15, when it actually gets dark.

- Okay, okay, and then you've got one called "Move Your Body."

- Yes.

- On August 1st.

- Yes, "Move Your Body" premiered at Sundance earlier this year, and it's part of our queer film festival, and it's a film about the birth of house music after the death of disco in Chicago.

- Okay, I guess disco is totally dead, isn't it?

- Yeah, but I think it's DNA still lives on.

(both laughing) - Okay, and who did that one?

- That one is a filmmaker named Elegance Bratton, and Elegance has actually done another film that was in our queer film festival, it's called "Peer Kids," and it's adjacent to the stories that people would know out of the film "Paris is Burning," which is what brought Voguing to the world before the Madonna song.

- Okay, okay, so you've had a busy summer.

- Oh, yes.

- Yeah, anyway, thanks for what you do.

Thanks for being here.

- Thank you.
