REEL TIME: The Awesome Fest at Race Street Pier

Race Street Pier opened to much fanfare last summer, but many have lamented the establishment's lack of visitor-enticing activity and programming. Beginning June 9, The Awesome Fest is giving Philadelphians plenty more awesome reasons to head to the waterfront park. As part of a goal to “create a premier year-round destination festival and film centric landscape,” founder Josh Goldbloom has arranged for free screenings beneath the bridge every Saturday night, courtesy of Delaware River Waterfront Corporation. Eric Bresler, new program director and editor of cinedelphia.com, curates the series of flicks fresh off the festival circuit. Promising events Bresler puts as “fun and classy,” viewers will be able to catch the films on a brand new 30-foot outdoor screen. Pay no mind to the sound of PATCO cars clanking above — it’s all part of the ambiance.

Here's a rundown of films:

NO ROOM FOR ROCKSTARS: THE VANS WARPED TOUR Chronicling the 2010 Warped Tour, this doc features everyone from the superstars to roadies to young fans. For those bored by the typical concert film, producers promise this to be a more worthwhile look into the state of youth and rock today. Sat., June 9.
