Socrates Sculpture Park Outdoor Cinema

You might remember that I recently blogged about the Bryant Park Film Festival, the Monday night outdoor film series sponsored by HBO. Well across the river, on Wednesday nights in July and August, the Museum of the Moving Image sponsors Outdoor Cinema, another outdoor film series held in the Socrates Sculpture Park in Long Island City.

These are (mostly) foreign films, some from the last couple of years, some of them classics (like 8 1/2 and The Red Balloon). The films start at sundown, and before the shows you can get food and listen to live musical performances that celebrate the culture of that night's film's native country.

This is a fun and wonderful celebration of the various cultures that make up this city and is free to all.
