She will join us in person as we showcase nine classic films from the archival vaults of national institutions like the Library of Congress, the UCLA Film & Television Archive, the George Eastman Museum, and more. Each feature is accompanied with an introduction and an era-appropriate pre-show of vintage snipes, trailers, and shorts.

The festival will kick off with a 1945 romance starring Judy Garland-THE CLOCK! Turner Classic Movies Writer Hannah Jack will join us in person to introduce the film.
𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗲: Vincente Minnelli directed this gorgeous wartime romance starring his then-fiancé Judy Garland in her first non-singing role. While on a two-day pass, a young G.I. strikes up a whirlwind love affair with a secretary in Manhattan before heading off to war. Enchantingly intimate and sincere, this wistful romance feels like a ‘40s prototype for Richard Linklater’s Before Trilogy.
𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿: Hannah Jack is a writer for Turner Classic Movies, scripting the introductions to movies that air on the network, delivered by TCM hosts Ben Mankiewicz, Dave Karger, and Jacqueline Stewart.
