The Maysles Cinema, the only movie theater in northern Manhattan dedicated to documentary film, serves as a site of community based, low-cost popular education and entertainment. Our programming is selected in collaboration with engaged viewers, independent curators, educators, filmmakers and in alliance with our city’s informal and well-established community and cultural groups. Drawing on Harlem’s history of cultural innovation and political agency, the Maysles Cinema provides a unique space for passionate and interactive exploration of topics of community interest. Breaking down the wall of disengagement found in the traditional film going experience, our presentations and series explode with life, reckoning and celebration.
