For its 2024 edition, Making Waves continues and extends the partnerships launched last year with Roxy Cinema New York and DCTV’s Firehouse Cinema, to present a selection of recent Romanian films, along with surprise special screenings.
A hat tip to the 1920s motion picture palace, Roxy Cinema New York is an Art Deco-inspired arthouse cinema located in downtown Manhattan specializing in first-run independent films, rare archival prints and 35mm cult classics. It also runs special cultural programming including film series, director and actor Q&A’s, and artist collaborations. Roxy Cinema is an old-school moviegoing experience for modern-day audiences, complemented by a gourmet concession stand.
Founded in 1972, DCTV has grown into one of the leading documentary production and film education centers in the country. In 2022, DCTV celebrated its 50th year with the opening of Firehouse: DCTV’s Cinema for Documentary Film, a place where filmmakers and film lovers can come together in appreciation of nonfiction film. Housed in DCTV’s beloved landmarked building in Chinatown, New York City, Firehouse features first run, curated, repertory, masterclasses, family programs and more. Concessions and an adjoining event space augment the high quality theatre.
The 18th Making Waves festival will take place March 27 – April 2, 2024 across a network of NYC cinemas, including IFC Center, Roxy Cinema New York and DCTV’s Firehouse Cinema. Details about the lineup will be available by February 27.
