Movies at Founders Park wraps up for the summer with the movies this Friday and Saturday evening in downtown Springfield. Movies begin at dusk and I’d recommend lawn chairs or comfortable blankets for perching on the many choices within the park. This weeks movies are:
Friday August 27 – “Princess and the Frog” (G)
Saturday August 28 – “Casablanca” (NR) • SATO 48: “Love” & “CLINK”
On Saturday’s, one or more films from the April SATO 48 short film contest are included. This week’s films are “Love‘” and “Clink“. Clink, from Unknown Films, explores the surface of how the loving relationship between Don and Betty Clinkenbeard came to be, through a few simple questions that I ask them during an interview. They reveal to us some lesser known information about themselves, as well as humor us with their sarcasm. The Clinkenbeards have been together for over 60 years now, so the stories they have to tell about themselves and the Springfield, MO area are fascinating to listen to.

To prepare you for tonight’s films, here’s a golden oldie made as part of SATO 48 2007 – Kirby and the Love Equation.
