MOVIES: Special screenings — Las Vegas Film Festival plays it again

It's deja view all over again as some of the highlights of June's Las Vegas Film Festival screen again in July.

The free screenings will be presented at 2:30 p.m. every Sunday at the Las Ventanas retirement community, 10401 W. Charleston Blvd.

The series launches July 4 with "Bicycle Dreams," which won the Las Vegas Film Festival's best documentary award, one of several international prizes captured by this account of a cross-country bicycle race where riders discover both tragedy and triumph.

On July 11, the documentary "Fighter Pilot" — originally created for IMAX theaters — follows a young pilot through the annual Red Flag simulated air combat training event at Nellis Air Force Base.

On July 18, another documentary, "Somewhere Near Tapachula," focuses on Australian volunteers at a Mexican orphanage, while a block of short films created by UNLV film students rounds out the screenings July 25.

All free screenings will be held inside the Theater Room at Las Ventanas; complimentary refreshments will be provided. (Space is limited and on a first-come, first-served basis.) For additional information, contact Patty Allsbrook at 400-1562 or Las Ventanas at 360-2662.
