2025 Spring/Summer Pop-Up Series

UWS Cinema Center is announcing some date changes and exciting guest additions to its ten-film spring/summer pop-up screening series, For the Love of Cinema, which began in early May and is extending through early September.

New dates and guest speakers include Last Film Show, moved to June 17 at JCC Manhattan; and a new date for the second showing of The Muppet Movie, on June 21 at the Leonard Nimoy Thalia with guest Frank Oz (the voice of Miss Piggy).  Oz will also be on hand for the screening of Bowfinger, on July 15 at the JCC Manhattan. The Fablemans, which has moved to July 22 at the Leonard Nimoy Thalia, will feature a guest appearance by Nancy Spielberg; and Hugo, which will be screened on August 12 at the JCC Manhattan, will welcome author Brian Selznick.

The free outdoor screening of Singin’ in the Rain, on August 23, is being shown in its original English language version with Spanish subtitles to make it accessible to our Spanish-speaking neighbors.

The summer pop-up series, which spotlights the magic of movies and the impactful experience of seeing film as a collective experience, is being sponsored in partnership with local organizations and arts venues including the Maysles Documentary Center, JCC Harlem, Symphony Space, JCC Manhattan, and Lycée Français de New York. The free outdoor screening on Amsterdam at 110th Street is being co-hosted by the Columbus/Amsterdam Business Improvement District (BID) and the West 111th Street Block Association.
