Last weekend, “The Avengers” broke box office records for the opening weekend of a film. In July, the hotly-anticipated “The Dark Knight Rises,” the third of Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy, will be released. For those who want to go big and bold at the cinema, summertime is the right time.
For those who prefer their screenings a bit smaller and more, perhaps, cerebral, some local venues and organizations are offering more independent, fringe and even locally made films for your viewing pleasure.
Heritage House, 1428 Jenkins Road, 855-9474 July 7, 7 p.m. Free.
Open screen nights at Heritage House feature the short film works of local film makers.
“We want to get the local [filmmakers] an audience,” said Chris Holley, director of Heritage House.
