Welcome to Washington, interns! This week, Roll Call will offer tips and suggestions for making this a fun and budget-friendly summer.

[IMGCAP(1)]Despite the melodrama following HBO’s announcement that it would no longer sponsor the capital city’s beloved summer pastime, Screen on the Green, an intern can still keep a full calendar of free outdoor movies this summer.

In fact, through much of the summer, enthusiasts could go to a different outdoor movie festival almost every night of the week.

Many of the neighborhoods screen similar movies. In 2008, three groups showed James Bond adventures, and this year two — Riverfront Reel and Rosslyn Outdoor Film Festival — will focus on ’80s throwbacks.

A few favorites get a lot of love around the nation’s capital: An obvious example is “Twilight,— the 2008 vampire romance based on the first book in Stephenie Meyer’s series. It will be shown in Rockville, Md., on July 1 and twice in Bethesda, Md., as part of Bethesda Outdoor Movies on July 31 and the Comcast Film Festival on Aug. 1.

Though no group currently plans to pick up Screen on the Green’s particular brand of classic movies, those who prefer older films will find plenty to be happy about. Among the options are the 1972 Diana Ross hit “Lady Sings the Blues— (July 1 at NoMa Summer Screen), the 1978 version of “Superman— (June 8 at Crystal Screen) and the 1952 musical “Singin’ in the Rain— (Aug. 18 at Comcast Film Festival).

Below is a list of free, Metro-accessible film festivals.
