One of the most memorable events in recent NYFVC history was the magical night at the NYPL Performing Arts Library when we screened rare 16mm prints of banjo-related films and held a square dance amidst the stacks featuring live music from John Cohen, the legendary musician, documentary filmmaker, and photographer.

John passed away several months after that special event and, as the NYFVC returns to in-person programming, we are thrilled to help present the New York premiere of Different Johns, a moving film chronicling John’s multi-varied life and work at this year’s Brooklyn Folk Festival.

Doors open at 7:30. Film starts at 8.
Free for NYFVC members with RSVP here. (If you are not current on your membership, can renew membership here).
$10 for non-members can be purchased at the door or online here.
Director Robert Carr will be in person for a Q &A and the screening will be followed by live old-time string band music.
