Films on the Green is back in New York City, bringing some French flair to Manhattan parks with its free outdoor film series. This year’s theme, Fashion in Film, is all about the iconic looks, stories, and culture of French cinema. This year also marks 130 years since the invention of cinema, a shared milestone for France and the U.S. Films on the Green, has grown from small community gardens to a multi-city event, including NYC, of course. Now, it’s bringing its open-air film experience to five cities across the U.S. through September.

Summer Movie Nights Just Got Très Chic

It’s an exciting summer lineup for Films on the Green. Don’t miss these free showings happening this June.
