Gesa offers movie lovers a full menu

WALLA WALLA—Gesa Power House Theatre presents the Best of the 2021 Walla Walla Movie Crush on Saturday, April 16, at 7:00 p.m.

Last July, the 5th Annual Walla Walla Movie Crush festival of short cinema presented 117 short films over three days. The “Best of” event features most of the 2021 award winners and will be an excellent introduction to the annual festival.

Similar in format to the full festival, the evening will feature three blocks of films with short breaks in between to stretch and grab a drink from the bar.

The 6th Annual Walla Walla Movie Crush returns to Gesa Power House Theatre July 15-17, 2022.

The Power House Movie Series presents award-winning festival favorites, feature-length narratives, documentaries, and undiscovered gems, paired with exclusive content from the moviemakers themselves – most often in conversation with Gesa Power House Theatre Director of Film Programming, Warren Etheredge.

Reserved seating tickets ($15 adult, $10 students) are available online at http://www.phtww.org or by calling the box office at 509-529-6500. Gesa Power House Theatre is located at 111 N. 6th Avenue in downtown Walla Walla.
