A new independent feature with its director and lead in the room is the version of moviegoing that streaming cannot copy — you watch it cold, then get to hear how a specific shot survived a specific bad day. Roxy's basement theater is a red-velvet, seventy-seat room where a Q&A actually feels like a conversation rather than a press line. If you like getting to a film before anyone has told you what to think about it, this is that slot.
What to expect
You descend from the hotel lobby into a small, carpeted theater with deep seating and a bar nearby. The film plays first, then the director and lead take questions from the floor. Expect an industry-and-cinephile crowd, a short turnaround afterward, and a room small enough that most raised hands get picked.
Good to know
- Roxy Cinema is downstairs inside the Roxy Hotel on Sixth Avenue at Canal — enter through the lobby
- The A, C and E to Canal Street drop you within a block
- The room is small, so Q&A screenings sell out well ahead of the day
- Arrive early if you want a center seat; late arrivals get the sides
- There is a bar in the hotel lobby if you want somewhere to land afterward
- Ask the venue about step-free access, since the theater is below lobby level
