Despite the fact that our beloved factory is closed due to COVID-19 restrictions, we remain committed to bringing independent film to the Hudson Valley. Basilica Hudson is thrilled to partner with the Greenville Drive-In to move the Basilica Non-Fiction Screening Series OUTDOORS.  

For the fifth consecutive year, the Basilica Non-Fiction Screening Series forms the bulk of Basilica’s film program, celebrating the cross-cultural potential of documentary filmmaking through FREE community screenings and discussions with filmmakers. We are dedicated to screening documentary films and to presenting films produced and directed by local emerging filmmakers whenever possible.
