Film enthusiasts have a new opportunity to experience Christopher Nolan’s *The Odyssey* in a large-format setting. The Village East by Angelika, situated at Second Avenue and 12th Street, has added the film to its current rotation across three of its screens.

Among these presentations is a 70mm screening held in the venue’s Jaffe Theater. With a capacity of 440 seats, the Jaffe Theater remains one of the few local cinemas equipped to handle 70mm film projection. The space itself carries significant architectural history, having been constructed approximately 100 years ago as the Yiddish Art Theatre.

In addition to the current film schedule, the theater has highlighted potential savings for patrons. According to information provided by the venue, members of the Angelika program are eligible for a 50% discount on tickets every Tuesday. Membership is available to the public at no cost through the theater's official website.

Further details regarding the film's arrival and the theater's operations have been shared via the venue's social media channels. Prospective viewers are encouraged to check the theater's official listings for specific showtimes and availability.
