MASON, OH -- As part of the July 2026 Ohio Goes to the Movies Events, "O Brother Where Art Thou?" will be screened by the Mason Public Library at Kingswood Park  (located at 4188 Irwin Simpson Road).on July 2 at 8:15 PM. But, prior ro the movie a block party is scheduled to begin at 5:00 PM with food trucks, activities, and live music. The event is free and open to the public.

The film O Brother, Where Art Thou? is tied to Ohio through George Clooney, who stars as Ulyses Everett McGill in the movie. While born in Lexington, Kentucky, Clooney spent six of his childhood years (1968-74) in Mason, Ohio, before moving to Augusta, Kentucky. 

Ohio Goes to the Movies (OGTTM) is well on its way to setting a record for the first-of-its-kind Ohio-centric movies series running about 250 days (through October) in every one of Ohio’s 88 counties. The signature event of America 250-Ohio aims to screen more than 250 free movies.

At the halfway mark of the series (as of June 18), OGTTM Program Director Molly Kreuzman reports:

• 136 OGTTM events have been held in 67 Ohio counties.
• A total of 151 films have been screened, with some events offering double features or multiple movies.
• Every film shown has an Ohio connection, either through its production in the state, the involvement of Ohioans on screen or behind the scenes, or centered on the life of a notable Ohioan.
• More than 10,000 people have attended the events organized by local communities. They selected their films based on Ohio Connections and are hosting additional activities during the events such as guest speakers, panel discussions, kids’ activities, and red-carpet experiences. Some fans are traveling across the state to visit multiple events in communities beyond their hometowns. (See Superfan blog.)

“This first-of-its-kind film series has been embraced by traditional and non-traditional venues across Ohio,” said Kreuzman. “At our halfway point, communities are reporting positive experiences collaborating with community partners, increased pride in their film connections and heritage, as well as sheer enjoyment from attendees sharing the movie experience together.”
