"This arthouse cinema is owned by AMC Networks (no affiliation with the theater chain of the same name) as a tangible outpost of cable's Independent Film Channel and the affiliated IFC Films production and distribution company. What you'll screen here, unsurprisingly, are independent films new and old. It's got one of the most well-known marquees in the whole city, a happy fluorescent triangle reaching out over a subway exit for the bustling West 4th Street stop, and Papaya Dog rounds out the block. It's an unfussy movie experience where you'd be hard-pressed to see the same film twice, so varied and inventive is the programming. And the people watching is unmatched."
