OLANA Outdoor Movie Night to Screen CLUE
Presented in Collaboration with The Olana Partnership and Upstate Films
Join The Olana Partnership for an outdoor movie night under the stars in collaboration with Upstate Films as they present CLUE on Friday, August 22. Pre-screening activities begin at 7PM. Grab your family and friends, a blanket, lawn chairs, and enjoy music, food and fun.
The comedic mystery and cult classic CLUE is turning 40 and is back on the big screen just in time for a summer night of murder, mayhem, and mystery! Restored to its original theatrical experience where anyone could be the killer- you won’t know which ending you’ll get until the final twist! When six guests are invited to a mansion for dinner, an unexpected murder leads to a series of twists and turns as they try to solve a madcap mystery. Will it be Miss Scarlet with the candlestick? Colonel Mustard in the library? Only one way to find out!
This film is presented as part of Upstate Films’ 2025 Hudson Valley Picture Show and in conjunction with “What’s Missing? Artworks in the Olana Landscape” by Ellen Harvey and Gabriela Salazar on view at Olana State Historic Site until November 2. To celebrate Olana’s “What’s Missing?,” arrive early for an “art mystery” scavenger hunt with live performers from Definitely Human Theatre prior to the film.

About Olana and The Olana Partnership: Olana is the greatest masterwork of Frederic Edwin Church (1826-1900), the most famous American landscape artist of the mid-19th century and the most important artist’s home, studio, and designed landscape in the United States. Church designed Olana as a holistic environment integrating his advanced ideas about art, architecture, landscape design, and environmental conservation. Olana’s 250-acre artist-designed landscape with five miles of carriage roads and a Persian-inspired house at its summit embraces unrivaled panoramic views of the Hudson Valley and Catskill Mountains and welcomes more than 170,000 visitors annually. The landscape is open for guided touring, and reservations are highly recommended. The landscape is open daily 8 AM-sunset.
