 There is no better place to be on a hot summer night than watching an outdoor film and enjoying the breeze off of the East River with the dazzling Manhattan skyline before you. Each evening, the lawn opens at 5:00 PM on a first come, first serve basis, and the movie begins at sunset. Enjoy a range of concessions and beverages for sale on site, along beer and wine for those 21+ to enjoy.

ABOUT MOVIES WITH A VIEW

Since its launch in 2000, we’ve wowed, entertained, thrilled, and pulled at the heartstrings of over 690,000 moviegoers, making our program a summer must and one of New York City’s favorite film series. The Conservancy’s Movies With A View takes place every Thursday evening in July and August on Pier 1’s Harbor View Lawn. There is no better place to be on a hot summer night than watching a classic film and enjoying the breeze off of the East River with the dazzling Manhattan skyline before you.

Thank you for support and funding in part from NYC Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York State Council on the Arts.

We also thank the MWAV Volunteer Film Committee. The Committee reviews, debates, introduces, and recommends films to the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy that represent a wide range of genres and experiences across decades of cinema’s rich history.  The Committee strives to elevate and amplify important voices and to celebrate the diversity all of us experience every day in New York City. Because the movies we love and the stories they tell are not only entertaining – they can teach us, challenge us, move us, and transform us.

SUPPORT THE CONSERVANCY

Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy’s free events and programs are made possible by hundreds of supporters like you. If you enjoyed a free outdoor movie this summer, please consider making a donation to support our work.
