This year's Old Pasadena Film Festival makes great use of the city, with more than 20 screenings taking place in basements, on rooftops, and within stores, plazas, and theaters. Presented in partnership with American Cinematheque, the festival offers a pleasant mix of classics like Casablanca, the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and the 1953 version of War of the Worlds, which is shown on the roof of a school. Emerging filmmakers from the Armory Center for the Arts and the Art Center College of Design show their work. Plus, a series of vintage "hygiene" shorts from the '40s and '50s give girls instructions on how to properly brush their hair.
