Behind The Screen is an exhibition that takes up 2 floors and brings you through the process of making moving images. Moving images would include movies, video and digital images. On exhibit here are both artifacts from the museum and interactive experiences such as animation and sound effects editing, videos, and sometimes someone will demonstrate live. I hear parts of this exhibition are under construction, so I would call ahead to check the schedule first.
This museum is interesting if you are into film and process. I was fascinated as well as my companion. I think it would've been more meaningful if I had joined the free guided tour. I don’t know the times, but check with the museum before you go.
Of course, there are also screenings of classic films. Check local magazines like New York magazine or Time Out NY for listings.
