Lincoln Center Amphitheater

One can find some of the city’s more esoteric film screenings at this forgotten nook of a movie «theater.» The space can probably fit 60 @sses… tops, and with standing room (which is what I have had to do), maybe 10 – 15 more bodies).
I came here, once upon a time in the summer of 2015, to see Salma Hayek promote her passion project in the form of Kahlil Gibran’s «The Prophet.» Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on what one came for that night, only clips of the movie were shown… along with a brief Q&A session. As far as I was concerned, as long as I got to see the incomparable Miss Hayek, I was happy a camper; and let me just say, she has aged quite well.
The theater set up is quite novel (aside from the stadium seating), in that it isn’t exactly an enclosed space. Upon walking in from the from the outside (i.e. the street), one can just keeping walking straight and into the theater. No additional doors, no barriers blocking the theater from the lobby area… it just goes from street, to lobby, to theater. Fortunately, it didn’t appear as if much else was occurring in the building that night, so us «theater-​goers» were relatively undisturbed.
As far as events like this are concerned, this theater is certainly up to task; and if it can attract such heavy hitters like Miss Hayek… well I guess this place is just fine in my book.
