About the Series
FilmScene in the Park is an outdoor cinema built in partnership with the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Department located at Chauncey Swan Park. Regular Screenings between May and October highlight a diversity of all ages programming.
FilmScene in the Park is presented by Dr. Suzanne Stock, Orthodontist, and serves the goals of both FilmScene and Iowa City Parks & Recreation by providing free cultural activities to thousands of citizens annually. Our park cinema was made possible in 2021 by the transformative Strengthen Grow Evolve campaign, a collaboration with The Englert Theatre, and The City of Iowa City’s Annual Park Improvement and Economic Development funds.

Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella (Kevin Costner) is inspired by a voice he can’t ignore to pursue a dream he can hardly believe. Thus begins a quest to turn his ordinary cornfield into a place where dreams come true.
