Metrograph sets Oct. 1 reopening date

The Metrograph returns to in-person screenings on Oct. 1, management of the independent two-screen movie theater on the Lower East Side announced yesterday. 

This marks the last theater in the area to reopen its auditoriums to moviegoers since the start of the pandemic in March 2020. Like other theaters, proof of vaccination and masks are required for entry. 

The Metrograph, which has been streaming an array of interesting films (not to mention the Metrograph TV App), will reopen with a new 4K restoration of Andrzej Żuławski's horror cult classic "Possession." (But Sam Neill was so nice in the "Jurassic Park" films!) 

The Commissary at Metrograph will reopen this fall too. The restaurant is currently hiring. 

Find the theater down at 7 Ludlow St. between Hester and Canal.

    Not worth the hassle. Masks,cdc cards, answering questions, social distancing. To see a movie? No thanks.

      I'm not an anti vaxxer or covid denier. It's just too much of a hassle for a movie. It sets a terrible precedent regarding privacy and personal medical choice. What happened to questioning the govt and authority? When did the EV become unquestioned supporters of govt authority?
