Families from throughout Montclair gathered at Lackawanna Plaza Friday, Oct. 22 to take part in one of the highlights of this year’s Montclair Film Festival — an outdoor screening of “The Mitchells vs. The Machines.”
The film is the festival’s family centerpiece this year. It follows the story of the Mitchell family, who’d been driving their daughter to the film school of her dreams when electronic devices started to take over the world.
The film stars Danny McBride, Abbi Jacobson and Maya Rudolph.
Also adding to the draw for families — food from the Pineapple Express Barbecue, a restaurant and beer garden at Lackawanna, and demonstrations by the Montclair High School Robotics Club.

More about the Montclair Film Festival:
SAVE MONTCLAIR LOCAL: We need your support, and we need it today. The journalism you value from Montclair Local, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, depends on the community's support — we exist because the old model of selling ads alone just can't fund journalism at the level we endeavor to provide. That's why you've seen other local newsrooms cut back staff or shut down entirely. Montclair Local was created because we believe that's unacceptable; the community's at its best when triumphs are celebrated, when power is held to account, when diverse lived experiences are shared — when the community is well-informed.
Montclair is seeking to raise $230,000 from donors, members and grantors between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31 to put us on firm footing for 2022, and continue supporting the hard work of our journalists into the new year and beyond. Visit MontclairLocal.news/donations to see how we're doing and make your contribution.
