Shake the summer heat with this fascinating weekend of sci-fi and fantasy genre favorites (including the original “Planet of the Apes,” its sequel, “Beneath the Planet of the Apes” and a Richard Donner double bill of “Ladyhawke” and “The Goonies”) and new films (Jim Hemphill’s “Bad Reputation,” Takashi Okazaki’s “Afro Samurai” and Erik Nelson’s documentary-work-in-progress, “Dreams with Sharp Teeth” about legendary sci-fi scribe Harlan Ellison).

For more information or to buy tickets, call (323) 466-FILM or visit the Aero’s website at www.americancinematheque.com.
