The New York Film Festival runs free trivia sessions with Cinephile during the festival, and the prize is the thing everyone wants that week: tickets to sold-out screenings. This is the fifth year of the event and this session lands in the afternoon on the festival's middle weekend. If you know your movies and got shut out of a premiere, this is your best free shot.
What to expect
A casual quiz in the amphitheater space of the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center, with festivalgoers competing between screenings. Bring friends; it's social and low-key.
Good to know
- Take the 1 train to 66 St–Lincoln Center; the film center is on West 65th Street.
- Free, but NYFF lists it with a ticket link, so reserve through the lineup page.
- Film knowledge across eras helps.
- Other free sessions run on different nights during the festival.
Going? Keep it.
