Close Encounters of the Third Kind

As part of the “Movies at the Palace: Season of Friendship” series, The United Palace will screen Steven Spielberg’s sci-fi classic Close Encounters of the Third Kind on Sunday, November 3.

But this is no ordinary movie screening—along with the stunning setting, the film will be introed by a musical performance by the Young People’s Chorus of New York City and the Washington Heights Community Choir, of a newly arranged vocal interpretation of the iconic “conversation” between humans and aliens from the movies. Stick around after the film for a brief discussion between investigative reporter Leslie Kean and Joel Kady, founder of Future Folklore, about the parts of the movie that accurately reflect the reality of the UFO phenomenon.
