It’s summer Brooklyn: Get outside and watch a movie!

In parks, on rooftops and inside other unusual venues, summer brings increasingly popular film series festivals to Brooklynites who revel in the availability of both traditional and alternative films, music and filmmaker appearances under the stars.
On Thursdays, thousands — bearing picnic baskets and blankets — crowded the lawn at Brooklyn Bridge Park for the “SyFy Movies with a View” summer film series. The nighttime events includes classic favorites (last week’s film was “E.T.”), DJs from Brooklyn Radio, shorts from BAMcinématek and local food vendors. Filmmakers and actors are frequently on hand.
