New York is a very international place and as such independent movies are well distributed. Some of my favorite theaters include Lincoln Plaza on the Upper West Side, City Cinema 123 midtown across from Bloomingdale's, the Paris Theater by the Plaza, or downtown the Landmark Sunshine Cinema. You can often catch recent French movies that are from a famous director or have done well in the country.In addition, once a year around March, the Walter Reade Theater at Lincoln Center organizes Rendez-Vous with French Cinema, http://www.rendezvouswithfrenchcinema.com/ a 2-week long festival with a comprehensive selection of French movies: comedy, drama, thriller... Usually, the director or lead actors attend the screening and answer questions at the end. Three years ago Marion Cotillard was there presenting La Vie en Rose, role that got her the following year the Academy Award for best female performance. And if you live outside of New York City, Focus on French Cinema is another festival in the Westchester area. http://focusonfrenchcinema.com/
