Join us beneath the stars in Downtown’s newest waterfront rooftop park for the feature presentation of Alfred Hitchcock’s 1954 classic Rear Window. L.B. "Jeff" Jeffries (James Stewart) is a professional photographer sidelined by an accident while on assignment. His immersion in the human drama (and comedy) visible from his window is a by-product of boredom. When the invalid wife of Lars Thorwald (Raymond Burr) disappears, Jeff enlists his girlfriend, Lisa (Grace Kelly) and a wisecracking visiting nurse (Thelma Ritter) to help him to determine whether she's really left town or been murdered. Following the feature, join us for a short film by Brooklyn-based filmmaker Mark Street. alone, apart: the dream reveals the waking day is in homage to two ramshackle cities, made up of footage shot while meandering city streets with a camera, looking to be haunted by unfamiliar vistas. Solace is found in the forgotten landscapes, odd voices on a ham radio, and shimmering water in a desolate harbor. Sponsored by HIP Health Plan of New York. www.RiverToRiverNYC.com
