2025 Bronx World Film Summer Cycle @ BCA HQ

Since 2017, Bronx World Film's roving cinémathèque programme has taken arthouse films to a variety of Bronx-based spaces and venues, both public and private, throughout the summertime. Because of the borough’s distinctive geography and the layout of its communities and neighborhoods, Bronx World Film takes great care to bring culturally relevant programming to each neighborhood based on its demographics, while also ensuring to introduce cultural diversity as a way for communities to build bridges across cultural divides through the art of film.

Bronx Council on the Arts (BCA) is honored to host another Summer Cycle of animation, fantasy, sci-fi, documentary, dance, experimental, and comedy films. Join us for two evenings of cinema - Wednesday, August 27 and Thursday, August 28 from 6:00PM to 8:30PM at BCA's headquarters. Review the full lineup at BCA below and check out the rest of the Marquee at Bronx World Film's website.
