Item Description

Today in Harlem there are trendy restaurants, art galleries, and a Whole Foods, but to go to the movies, there are few options. “Apart from AMC Magic Johnson or very small cinemas, there’s not much,” says Adeline Monzier, head of the New York office of UniFrance, an organization promoting French cinema art abroad. “While the expansion of cinema is going rather well in New York, as shown by the opening of new theaters in Brooklyn and Downtown, Harlem has remained on the outside.”

It was this observation that prompted Adeline, a PS84 mom, to team up with another French woman from Harlem, Marie Gentine, to create Uptown Flicks, a monthly series of film screenings devoted to recent French films and documentaries that have little or no exposure in the United States.

The films and documentaries screened are all favorites in France, often crossed overlapping with the current activities of UniFrance. Not all screenings will have invited speakers to talk after the film, but there will always be allotted time for a discussion over drinks.
