Cine Movil

co-presented with Socrates Sculpture Park and Ocularis

Cinema Tropical, Socrates Sculpture Park and Ocularis proudly present Cine Movil – New York City’s 2nd annual open-air film festival showcasing world-class Latin American films, food, culture and music.

During the heyday of the U.S. drive-in, people drove to see movies on the big screen. In rural parts of Latin America, the Cine Movil (mobile cinema) drove the cinema to the people, presenting outdoor screenings in plazas and parks. Cine Movil brings this popular tradition to New York with three nights of exemplary Latin American films, screened under the stars.

These free, open-air screenings will feature:

  • Contemporary Latin American films (in Spanish or Portuguese with English subtitles)

  • Latin American cuisine provided by local restaurants.

  • Latin musicians play as audiences set up blankets to enjoy the screening
