Other details: Last night W Downtown in partnership with Grand Classics continued its New York in Film summer screenings, featuring Midnight Cowboy presented by Spike Lee. The second event in the series offered insight into a classic film that epitomizes and has helped to inspire Lee’s personal and professional life. Guests enjoyed a retro spin on traditional movie concessions including spiced popcorn, and a 1960’s themed candy and cocktail bar which completed the pop up cinema experience. 100% of proceeds from the screenings will support the NYU Film School, an intensive three-year conservatory which trains students in the art of cinematic storytelling. The public screening of Midnight Cowboy's is on July 31 and tickets are available for purchase
