About this event
Bryant Park's long-running Monday film series screens Fernando Meirelles' City of God (2002), the propulsive Rio favela drama that reshaped Brazilian cinema. The lawn opens at 17:00 for picnic blankets and the film begins at 20:00 on the big screen. Food and drink are sold on site; seating is on the grass, first come, first served.
Why we picked it
One of Manhattan's most reliable free summer rituals, and a major world-cinema title on a skyline-framed lawn.
