Free English, Spanish Outdoor Film Series Returns To Inwood

INWOOD, NY — New York City only free outdoor film screening series for both English and Spanish speakers will return to Inwood this summer for its third year, organizers announced this week.

Inwood Art Works will host eleven free screenings at Inwood Hill Park every Monday between June 3 and August 26 as part of its Film Works Alfresco! series, the nonprofit said in a press release. Some films included in this year's series are the documentary "Won't You Be My Neighbhor?" the box-office hit "Crazy Rich Asians" and animated Spanish-language comedy "El Libro de la Vida."

Films will be screened at Gaelic Field, which is located near park entrances at Isham Street and Seaman Avenue and at Indian Road and West 218th Street, organizers said. There is no admission fee and screenings will begin when the sun begins to set.

The film series is funded by the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone, Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer and the city Department of Small Business Services through its Neighborhood 360 grant program, organizers said.

"Cultural and artistic events breathe life into our public spaces and neighborhoods," Brewer said in a statement.
