Film at Lincoln Center is pleased to present free outdoor screenings in both Lincoln Center’s Damrosch Park and on Governors Island’s Parade Ground all summer long.
Summer for the City screenings at Lincoln Center’s Damrosch Park
The Summer for the City outdoor film series, which will be held in Damrosch Park, promises to delight and stimulate moviegoers with a three-film showcase of Terence Blanchard’s illustrious and prolific career as a composer of film scores, in connection with “See Me As I Am,” LCPA’s year-long, campus-wide celebration of the pioneering musician.
Summer for the City also includes “Can’t Stop the Street: Hip Hop on Screen,” a five-film sidebar as part of a campus-wide celebration honoring hip hop’s 50th anniversary, exploring and paying tribute to the myriad ways in which hip hop’s history, cultural innovations, and guiding creative voices have influenced and intersected with American cinema over the last half-century.

“Rule-Breakers and Troublemakers” screenings on Governors Island’s Parade Ground
FLC teams up with Governors Island Arts to present “Rule-Breakers and Troublemakers,” taking place on the Island’s historic Parade Ground, an eight-acre lawn with expansive open views of Lower Manhattan. This year’s Governor’s Island screenings feature a selection of films that celebrate relatable, resilient protagonists who refuse to accept the constraints that society has imposed on them. The series will be produced by Rooftop Films.

Upcoming Screenings
Set It Off
This screening takes place on September 1 at 8pm on Governors Island's historic Parade Ground
Director F. Gary Gray infuses the heist genre with bracing emotional clarity, sensitively yet unsentimentally dramatizing the challenges faced by working-class women of color who are forced to navigate an unacceptably inhospitable socioeconomic reality. This film screens as part of our Governors Island screening series, "Rule-Breakers and Troublemakers."All screenings are free and open to the public!
Where: Screenings will take place in Damrosch Park on the Lincoln Center campus (Amsterdam Ave &, W 62nd St.) or on Governors Island’s newly restored Parade Ground, an eight-acre lawn with expansive open views of Lower Manhattan.
Entry to Summer for the City outdoor screenings at Damrosch Park will be available for FREE via General Admission—first-come, first-served. Filmgoers can line up off of W. 62nd Street, along the east side of Damrosch Park. Seating will open to the public 30 minutes before showtime. In addition to General Admission, we’re offering a FREE Fast Track option. Reservations will open every Monday at noon for that week’s events and close at 3:00 pm the day of the show, or when Fast Track tickets are all booked—whichever comes first.
