Bronx World Film Cycle, A Roving Cinémathéque, Takes
Art House Film to Bronx Neighborhoods for Ninth Summer
DATES & TIMES: August 26-September 6, 2026
BRONX VENUES: Various (SEE BELOW)
New York, New York. July 21, 2026. – Bronx World Film Cycle, Summer 2026, the Bronx’s first “roving cinémathèque” started in 2017 by pioneer art house presenter Bronx World Film, returns for the ninth summer to neighborhoods, parks and venues borough-wide from August 26th through September 6th with a cutting-edge marquee of films from all over the world and something for everyone.
The summer playbill reflects the diversity that characterizes the organization’s programming, its attention to film as art form and the demographics of the Bronx. It is strong on animation, comedy, documentary and experimental work, with films fresh off their world premieres in the Short Film Corner at Festival de Cannes, at sister organization International Sound and Film Music Festival in Croatia (both this past May), and from the organization’s established local and international networks. It includes US and New York premieres and several films that will screen in avant-premières.
Bronx World Film is a non-profit founded in 2011 with programmes in Manhattan and The Bronx that has been called “a place for young filmmakers.” The “Cycle” is its flagship film and multiarts event, presented since its founding at Manhattan host venue La Nacional – Spanish Benevolent Society, and in recent years also at amenable Bronx venues. Bronx World Film holds curated events and programming year-round, and does not hold competitions or give out awards.
Admission to Bronx World Film Cycle events is free and open to the public..
