Plus\, enjoy a pre screening pop-up with the Get Lit Players and a DJ set by Sur Jazz. \n7:30pm >> SUMMERTIME  • Film + Live Poetry + Music – Union Station Ticketing Hall (Ticket Concourse) >> RSVP REQUIRED\nThe SUMMERTIME program will kick off indoors with verses performed live by the film’s featured poets Marquesha Babers\, Mila Cuda\, Paolina Acuña-Gonzalez and Anna Osuna and a music set by Austin Antoine\, who stars as Rah in the film. The film runs 1 hour and 35 minutes\,  following the opening performances by the poets and Austin Antoine. \n  \n \n\nAbout SUMMERTIME\nConceived by filmmaker/director Carlos López Estrada in collaboration with young poets from Get Lit: Words Ignite\, SUMMERTIME takes place over the course of an imagined hot summer day as the lives of 27 young Angelenos intersect to weave in and out of each other’s stories. The director’s ground-breaking vision began at a poetry showcase where performers from across the City of Angels recited fearlessly personal texts about themselves\, their communities\, and their relationship to their city. The project was then developed around their individual poems and interwoven into a larger\, unified\, and gloriously moving narrative experiment — part contemporary musical and part sociological art. SUMMERTIME explores themes of identity\, community\, and intersectionality through the unique perspectives of this diverse ensemble and debuted at Sundance 2020 before its theatrical release in summer 2021. \nAbout Get Lit – Words Ignite\nGet Lit – Words Ignite fuses classic and spoken word poetry to increase teen literacy on the page and in visual media\, and cultivates enthusiastic learners emboldened to inspire social consciousness in diverse communities. Get Lit’s poetry and film curriculum engages young people by providing a creative outlet\, community\, and real-life work experience\, transforming students into activists\, scholars\, and stars. To find out more\, please visit getlit.org or follow @getlitpoet on all platforms. \nAccessibility\nThe event takes place outdoors as well as indoors.
