What good is sitting alone in your room…You can see The Shining and Cabaret at Movie with a View, a venue I found to be quite lovely for movie viewing and picnicing right there next to the Brooklyn Bridge (with a good view of one of the waterfalls).
Back by popular demand, Brooklyn Bridge Park’s outdoor film series — Movies With A View
— will offer an encore presentation on Thursday, September 4. The
series is produced by the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy and the New
York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and
presented this year by new sponsor SCI FI Channel. The series takes
place in the Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park section of Brooklyn Bridge
Park.Movie-goers can catch Cabaret,
which was cancelled earlier in the season due to inclement weather. The
show will be free, as always. Music will begin at 6:00 pm, and the film
will screen at sunset.The Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy, along with NY State Parks, launched Movies With A View
nine years ago, and works with a volunteer Film Committee, made up of
members of the local community, to put together an exciting and
eclectic line-up of films each year. With a venue noted for the quality
of its views as well as the quality of its films, the free series has
attracted thousands of people each summer to the waterfront park. Films
this season included Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit, The Shining, Being There, and Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
The remaining film schedule is:
The Shining, Thursday, August 28
Cabaret, Thursday, September 4
