New Plaza Cinema Short Film Showcase
1h 30min | NR
Every other month, acting as our guest curator, Michael Jacobsohn, has been leading our efforts to showcase New York Filmmakers’ short films as a part of New Plaza Cinema’s community programming. Our focus is to give NYC filmmakers a platform to share their art with the community. The screening is followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers.
As a trusted community of film lovers, New Plaza Cinema is committed to supporting filmmakers in the art of filmmaking to help keep Art Cinema Culture alive in Upper Manhattan.
