The Jacob Burns Film Center (JBFC) will open its doors Friday, April 30 after a long and difficult year due to the pandemic.
Multiple improvements were made to the facility in anticipation of the reopening, including bi-polar ionization air purification units throughout the JBFC Theater and Media Arts Lab.
Theater hours and screening schedule will be announced before the reopening and film programs through the JCBFC Virtual Marquee will continue so that all programming offered can be experienced from the comfort of home.
In celebration of the reopening, a presentation titled Projecting Light Through Darkness, which dramatically brightens the JBFC Theater along with the upgraded marquee will bring light to its corner of Pleasantville after an unprecedented period of darkness. This brightness is made possible by a gift from Suzanne and Robert Harwood.
The installation will be on view seven days a week from 7 to 11 p.m. through April 27, paving the way to the reopening.
