The Queens Drive-In is a drive-in movie theater in the parking lot at the New York Hall of Science in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, Queens.
This is a co-presentation of the Museum of the Moving Image, Rooftop Films and the New York Hall of Science.
We should thank Queens Borough President Sharon Lee, NY City Council member Francisco Moya and Jimmy Van Bramer, and NYC Parks for making this happen.
This is love in the time of Coronavirus. We love New York!

Landfall
Friday, August 28, 2020 at 7:30pm
Cecilia Aldarondo, USA, 2019
Through shard-like glimpses of everyday life in post-Hurricane María Puerto Rico, Landfall examines a ruined world at the brink of transformation, spinning a cautionary tale for our times.
Preceded by “Para Gregorio” (For Gregorio) by Cristobal Guerra, USA, ¡Boricua!
The director is doing Q&A after the movie at 10pm. Aldarondo is something: a 2019 Guggenheim Fellow, 2017 Women at Sundance Fellow and more. She’s the Assistant Professor of Art at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts. ¡Boricua!
Do the Right Thing
Thursday, September 3, 2020 at 7:30pm
Spike Lee, USA, 1989
Spike Lee’s full-throttle portrait of a particularly eventful, hot summer day in the life of a Bed-Stuy neighborhood is a remarkable dramatization of race relations in America.
Preceded by the Stories from the City program: eclectic short films about navigating public and private spaces in our sprawling metropolis.
Born in Flames
Saturday, September 5, 2020 at 7:30pm
Lizzie Borden, USA, 1983
The essential ’80s feminist sci-fi indie—an all-out attack on the patriarchy that’s lost none of its sting.
Preceded by the Women’s Work program: spunky short films by women that highlight the strenuous work of life and labor.
