Metrograph
From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
The Metrograph is an independent two-screen movie theater at 7 Ludlow Street in the Dimes Square[1] section of the Lower East Side of Manhattan. It opened in 2016 with two theatres, a bookstore, a "curated" concession stand, and a restaurant. It was founded by Alexander Olch, who is better known as a designer of men's ties.[2]
Programming[edit]
The Metrograph screens both new films and revivals of older films. The schedule is programmed by Jake Perlin and Aliza Ma.[3] It also occasionally hosts private events such as premieres of movies and TV shows.
History[edit]
The Metrograph initially opened in 2016 with two theaters, both equipped with DCP, 35mm, and 16mm projection equipment. Theater 1 is significantly larger than Theater 2. After closing in March 2020 due to COVID-19, they reopened September 1, 2021, several months after movie theaters were legally allowed to reopen in New York City on March 5, 2021.
Online[edit]
In July 2020, Metrograph launched a digital membership with live screenings and on-demand movies available to watch at home.[4]
