The Cultural Center of the Lycée Français de New York is screening movies now. Films are screening in French with English subtitles.

The next screening is Wednesday, September 23. They will show "1874, The Birth of Impressionism" at 6:30pm.

April 15, 1874, boulevard des Capucines, Paris: a group of young feverish painters shunned by the official Salon and mocked by the classical masters, chose to come together to exhibit their paintings freely, in the studio of photographer Nadar. At the end of a teeming century, when modernity was emerging, this group of rebellious artists, revolutionized the world of art. Among them Monet, Renoir, Cézanne, Morisot, Degas, Sisley and Pissarro. To celebrate the birth of Impressionism 150 years ago, the Musée d’Orsay has hosted the largest retrospective ever in March 2024, and will co-present this special screening.

The screening will be introduced and followed by a Q&A with Art Historian Kathryn Calley Galitz.

Upcoming films include:

The Money Maker - October 7

William Wyler, Willie Forty Takes - November 19

Bochy Et Les Blues - December 11

Some of their films are considering Special Screening while others are listed as Movie Night. All films are free. Here's a link to their website: https://culturalcenter.lfny.org
