MORNINGSIDE HEIGHTS — The Harlem International Film Festival is offering free, exclusive screenings to residents of the rental complex Enclave at The Cathedral at 400 W. 113th St.
The festival has partnered with the Brodsky Organization — which developed the 15-story, 430-unit complex with affordable housing units that sits next to the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine — to offer screenings of award-winning independent films.
The movies include a short and a feature film for each of the screening dates followed by a Q&A with the cast and crew.
The films will be shown to residents on June 8 and July 13.
The June screening will include Tom in America directed by Flavio Alves, which won Best Short at the festival last year, followed by Subways, directed by Dane Joseph, which won the Harlem Spotlight Award last year at the festival and features 100 local actors.
The films that will be screened July 13 include Welcome directed by Javier Fesser followed by Zemene directed by Melissa Donovan, which won the Best World Documentary last year at the festival.
The festival will be held Sept. 14 to 18.
