CENTRAL PARK FILM FESTIVAL RETURNS WITH NEW YORK VIBE, AND NEW VENUE
The free outdoor Central Park Film Festival is back next week!
This year the Central Park Conservancy will screen movies that showcase various parts of New York, and they’ll be showing the first two films at a new venue: Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem.

I would imagine that it wouldn’t be difficult to do. Maybe I’m wrong but aren’t they playing the movies from DVD format? Most DVD media has captions even in different languages.
