New York, New York

From the soaring skyscrapers to our subterranean subway system, New York is more than just a location. Come celebrate the city as we take a close look at the people and places that make New York, New York! This season we’ll be joined by a wonderful list of special guests as we screen classic shorts and features as well as cutting-edge contemporary works in a season dedicated to films made in the Big Apple.
