6 NYC Movie Theaters That Go Beyond The Silver Screen

Maysles Cinema

If you're looking for a glamorous evening, you're better off staying away from this Harlem, in-house screening venue. Maysles Cinema feels more like someone's house than a traditional theater, but for any documentary-lover, Maysles delivers. A not-for-profit organization, the Maysles Institute charges a suggested donation of $10 for films, so anyone can come watch. Although it's a humble setting, you might be surprised by the cool, upcoming events, such as a Q&A with Alison Klayman, the director of Ai Weiwei: Never Sorry, on Monday (January 21st).
