The privately run park’s annual outdoor film series will return on June 10 with a screening of six-time Academy Award winner and classic, “Forrest Gump,”
When summer hits, so does the urge to kick back and watch the silver screen outdoors. Now Manhattan may not have the classic drive-in movie theater experience like some of the outer boroughs, but it does have a bounty of other types of outdoor screenings — both in-park and on-rooftop.
This summer’s lineup includes a variety of films from blockbusters like “Gladiator” and “Titanic” to cinema classics like “Cinema Paradiso” and the Audrey Hepburn musical “Funny Face.” There’s a film for all different stripes — and that’s what attracts the program’s die-hard fans, who will reportedly stick it out for screenings even in the event of rain. Movie nights are almost always on — rain or shine, with the exception of thunderstorms.
“They are welcome to bring their own picnics, but we have food and beverage available from a wide variety of vendors on those evenings,” said Irene Vagianos Whelan, the park’s vice president of events. “So you can come completely unprepared and, and just pick up stuff on your way to the lawn.Located on the edge of the financial district’s South Street Seaport, The Rooftop at Pier 17 has offered up its massive rooftop venue to host Seaport Cinema each summer on since 2018.
The organizers advise filmgoers to bring a blanket to sit on. The Rooftop has turf but there are no chairs, so attendees should plan on wearing something comfortable. For drinks, the Rooftop has got attendees covered. It doesn’t allow outside beverages but there are lots of options available for purchase.
“It’s not just that we are showing a bunch of great films on the weekend. We’re an extended celebration of cinema, and we love getting people together and having a good time in outdoor venues,” said Adnaan Wasey, the organization’s executive director. The Randall’s Island Park Alliance is hosting three movie screenings this summer for the whole family. Attendees are encouraged to bring a blanket to enjoy a movie while overlooking the Hell Gate Bridge and city skyline. The screenings are happening at Field 62, one of the soccer fields located on the southern end.
