Films on the Green return to Tompkins Square Park this summer for 2 Friday nights



From the EV Grieve inbox...

The French Embassy along with NYC Parks and Recreation is thrilled to announce the 6th annual Films on the Green festival. Films on the Green is a free out-door French film festival that brings classic and contemporary French cinema to New Yorkers in different parks around the city, select Fridays throughout the summer, beginning June 7.

Events are free and open to the public. Not to worry there are English subtitles!

This year's theme celebrates love — " à la française," the seduction, the passion, and the jealousy. French DJ’s from WNYU will spin music before the screening, so make sure to get there early! Films begin at sunset (approx. 8:30), we invite you to pack a picnic and bring a blanket to enjoy this summer’s festival.

Oui! Uh, and here are the two screening slated for Tompkins Square Park:

June 28 — "Angel and Tony" by Delaporte

July 5 — "Heartbreaker" by Chaumeil

As for other outdoor movies... DNAinfo had a rundown yesterday of some of the free movies showing around the city this summer. No word yet on any Thursday night screenings in Tompkins Square Park.
