Film Series + Festivals

The Metropolitan Opera’s award-winning series of high-definition live cinema simulcasts. Join us at the Browning Cinema — the best seat in the house outside of the Met!

NEW TITLES COMING SOON! The best in live capture broadcast programming from London’s Royal National Theatre.

Documentary: Fact or Fiction? examines how nonfiction representation has evolved from early experimentations through the impact of television journalism to the emergence of new media.

Rather than provide a chronological history of documentary, the series will focus on films that raise questions about nonfiction representation and its implications for filmmakers, subjects, and viewers. Issues such as testimony, performance, reflexivity and ethics will be addressed, all of which serve to deepen the complex discourse of cinematic realism.

There is a podcast miniseries accompanying this series. A new episode will be released each week that focuses on the next film in the series. Listen now.

This series is sponsored by the Nanovic Institute for European Studies. All films are free but ticketed.

Tickets, soda + popcorn are just a buck a piece!
