Brooklyn Bridge Park (BBP) is offering over 500 free and low cost events this spring/summer, including the popular Movies With A Views. Today Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy announced this season’s official line-up of film screenings in addition to a new partnership with Smorgasburg to provide food and drink vending at this year’s series.
Movies With A View brings thousands of locals to BBP to watch films under the stars with perfect views of the Brooklyn Bridge and the waterfront. While food vendors are set to rotate each week, moviegoers can sweet treats, savory snacks, and drinks, including beer and wine.
“We can’t wait to bring together two Brooklyn institutions on the waterfront for food, film, and fun,” said Smorgasburg co-founder Eric Demby. “It’s gonna be a delicious summer.”
The theme for this year’s 8-week-long film series is SHE DIRECTS, and it will celebrate the work of women, trans-women, and genderqueer directors. The lineup includes classics like Susan Seidelman’s Desperately Seeking Susan, and recent hits like Patty Jenkins’s Wonder Woman. The directors of this year’s shorts and the DJs are all women and trans-women, too.
“The works represented in this year’s lineup are meant to reflect the richness of women’s voices,” said Devin Mathis, the Conservancy’s Director of Programs.
Movies With A View kicks off on July 12, and runs weekly on Thursdays through August 30. Pre-show music sets spun by Brooklyn Radio DJs, short films curated by Bamcinématek, and food offerings begin each evening at 6:00 pm, with the movies screening at sundown.
