The UK’s number one outdoor cinema experience has set its sights on New York City, landing on the roof terrace of YOTEL in Midtown, just steps away from Times Square. From June 3 movie-loving New Yorkers can take in Rooftop Film Club and enjoy delicious food and cold drinks above the city streets, before catching their favorite classic, cult and current movie in the glow of the iconic skyline. Films playing throughout the month include Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Academy Award winning Birdman on June 10, The Usual Suspects starring Benicio del Toro on June 15, Dirty Dancing on June 16, and arguably the best film ever made; Casablanca on June 23.

With state-of-the-art equipment, high-quality wireless headphones and comfortable seats in a truly unique urban environment, these are movie screenings with altitude. YOTEL New York’s expansive terrace is the largest outdoor hotel space in the city.

Rooftop Film Club is celebrating the US launch on both sides of the pond with a stellar line-up of NYC-based movies screened under the stars. The four-day run will screen in tandem in both cities from June 7-10, featuring the sci-fi comedy (and questionable fashion) of 80s cult classic Ghostbusters, Woody Allen’s unforgettable Manhattan, the timeless style of Breakfast at Tiffany’s or an alternative look at Broadway with the aforementioned Oscar-winner, Birdman.

Since its inception in 2011, Rooftop Film Club has pioneered the outdoor cinema phenomenon in the UK, becoming a staple of the London culture scene. Rooftop Film Club has grown a sizable and passionate following, selling out over 250 rooftop screenings across five London venues in 2014 alone.

Gerry Cottle Jnr, Co-founder of Rooftop Film Club, commented: “With the most iconic skylines in the world, NYC has always been an aspiration for us as a business. We’ve spent years trying to find the ideal spot for our stateside debut – as soon as we saw the terrace at YOTEL we knew we had found our new home.”
