The 59th New York Film Festival taking place September 24 – October 1, 2021 is partnering with local New York City arthouse theaters to bring NYFF59 films to new audiences.
NYFF has partnered with Anthology Film Archives (East Village), BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) (Fort Greene, Brooklyn), Jacob Burns Film Center (Pleasantville, Westchester), and Maysles Documentary Center (Harlem) to screen a selection of films from the 59th edition throughout the festival.
The festival will also present four outdoor screenings at Damrosch Park on the Lincoln Center campus, offering audiences another way to experience the festival. Programming is subject to change at all venues as well as Damrosch Park.
Director of NYFF Eugene Hernandez said, “Last year, we brought NYFF to drive-in screenings in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx, ensuring that New Yorkers could attend the 2020 festival safely. But taking the Festival to neighborhoods beyond the Upper West Side remains our goal and this year as we celebrate cinema in a communal setting and on the big screen, we’re pleased to partner with four nonprofit cinemas. Thank you to our friends at Anthology, BAM, Maysles, and the Burns Film Center for working with us to connect the festival to new places and people! And of course, we’re also delighted to present outdoor screenings in our own backyard at Lincoln Center’s iconic Damrosch Park.”
This year we’re partnering with @AnthologyFilm, @BAMfilmBrooklyn, @jbfc_ny, @MayslesCinema, & @LincolnCenter‘s Damrosch Park to provide flexibility for movie lovers citywide and beyond. Explore the screenings: https://t.co/Uhy6GBTdDP pic.twitter.com/xm5yxFPobB
