We are thrilled to announce a partnership with Macaulay Honors College of the City University of New York (35 West 67th<\/sup> Street), exhibiting independent, foreign and classic films on weekends in their 72 seat screening room. The association aligns with New Plaza\u2019s educational component and supplements its already robust virtual and in-person lectures and talkbacks. <\/p>\n New Plaza Cinema at Macaulay Honors College will open on Friday, September 30th<\/sup>. Films will include the acclaimed documentaries Fire of love<\/i> (both an Oscar contender and the top grossing doc of 2022) and Three Minutes \u2013 A Lengthening<\/i>, as well as other outstanding new foreign titles including The Good Boss<\/i> (Spain), Taming the Garden<\/i> (Georgia), Hold Me Tight<\/i> from French director-actor Mathieu Amalric and Oscar nominee Vicky Krieps and 1982<\/i>(Lebanon) with director Oualid Mouaness in attendance on Oct 2 for the first TalkBack in the new venue.<\/p>\n Pricing and ticket purchasing details are available on the \u2018showtimes\u2019 section of this website.<\/p>\n New Plaza Cinema has kept the spirit of the beloved arthouse alive as a non-profit with a groundswell of support from former patrons for over four years, offering quality film experiences including after-screening discussions with filmmakers and industry experts. Since its post-pandemic re-opening, NPC has hosted Academy Award\u00ae-nominated director Stanley Nelson, New York Times Critic and film historian Jason Bailey, filmmaker Lisa Hurwitz (who will return in October with her awards-contender The Automat) and filmmaker Ferne Pearlstein (The Last Laugh), among many others.<\/p>\n At the same time, New Plaza has also delivered upwards of 100 virtual events with over 12,000 registrants, and has developed a loyal following with 100-150 participants per event. Resident film historian Max Alvarez, filmmaker and Professor Daniel Cahill, and author Steven C. Smith have been joined by the likes of Melissa Newman (daughter of Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward) and Julie Garfield (daughter of John Garfield) to name just a few.<\/p>\n New Plaza Cinema and Macaulay Honors College will work with students to help further their interests and careers in film and the arts with multiple areas of collaboration available.<\/p>\n Upper Manhattan, with a population of over 750,000, has seen other cinemas close their doors, leaving most surviving art film venues in Manhattan located south of 14th<\/sup> Street. At Macaulay Honors College, New Plaza Cinema is back to satisfy the cultural and entertainment needs of the large customer base that filled the six Lincoln Plaza screens, year after year.<\/p>\n “This is an important new relationship for Macaulay,” said Macaulay Dean Dara N. Byrne. “And we’re thrilled that our students will be able to see firsthand how activism in support of a shared passion can sustain a community in the long term.\u201d<\/p>\n This is a terrific opportunity for New Plaza Cinema to return to screening top foreign and independent films in the neighborhood of our late, lamented Lincoln Plaza, in a first-rate venue.<\/p>\n Gary Palmucci, Film Curator [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_sidebar orientation=”right” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_sidebar][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are thrilled to announce a partnership with Macaulay Honors College of the City University of New York (35 West 67th Street), exhibiting independent, foreign and classic films on weekends in their 72 seat screening room.
