Here's a list of upcoming special event type screenings at theaters in New York. What a special city. Not many places outside of New York and Los Angeles have this opportunity. We will list these screening events even if they are sold out, because maybe standby tickets will come through or maybe you want to wait outside the theater in hopes of getting an autograph. And by special, we generally mean that there will be a filmmaker intro or Q&A following the screening. If we attended any of the screenings in the past week, we'll add photos and video at the end. If you host an event and we missed you, please let us know - info@greenroomnewyork.com.

DCTV (87 Lafayette Street, Manhattan)

The largest federally funded job program for artists in the nation, New York City's CETA Artists project, is the subject of The Federal Artist - a portrait of the beginnings of an historic experiment in public service employment. Not since the Depression's WPA Federal Arts Project had so many artists (over 500) been put to work by the government. In addition to creating a composite portrait of the “Federal Artist," the film looks at government support of artists’ works at a time when the entire public service employment system was under scrutiny. Highlights include "Federal Artists” teaching or performing for whom art is usually inaccessible - the poor, the sick, and the institutionalized. Johan Sellenraad redesigns an aging subway station. Sandra Esteves performs her poetry in the South Bronx. Charles Cook and Jane Goldberg revive tap dancing on the streets of New York. The CETA Jazzmobile brings the sounds of Big Bands to Rikers Island. Bannerjee creates a mural with 5-year-olds. The Philharmonia Orchestra of New York presents a concert at a hospital in Brooklyn. Also profiled is Marguerite Munch’s painting class at the Sirovich Senior Citizens Center. When 86-year-old Sam Bernstein is asked whether such a project is worthwhile, he says, "If it weren't for art, I wouldn't be here."

Metrograph (7 Ludlow Street, Manhattan)

The astonishingly assured debut feature from French Canadian actress Charlotte Le Bon, Falcon Lake stars Joseph Engel as Bastien, a 13-year-old Parisian who, while on a holiday with his family in rural Quebec, becomes increasingly close to Chloé (Sara Montpetit), the 16-year-old daughter of an old friend of his mother. A tender tale of first love that progresses with the disconcertingly eerie mood of a gothic horror film—the lake by the family’s rented cabin is haunted by a ghost legend—Le Bon’s ruminative, atmospheric drama subverts every coming of age cliché to create something entirely distinctive, quietly unnerving, and achingly emotional, seeking out the darkness on the fringes of a sunny summer idyll.
