\n\tPersol<\/a> and Brooklyn Bridge Park have announced a partnership to present Movies With A View, the park\u2019s long-running free outdoor film series, for its 26th season this summer.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe series, which draws thousands of New Yorkers to the Brooklyn waterfront each week for screenings against a backdrop of the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline, will run Thursday evenings from July 2 through August, with a family film night on Friday, Sept. 18. Gates open at 6 p.m. on a first-come, first-served basis; screenings begin at sunset. The full film lineup will be announced in early June.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor Persol, the partnership is a natural extension of the brand\u2019s ties to cinema. Its frames have been worn on screen by Marcello Mastroianni in \u201cLa Dolce Vita\u201d and \u201cDivorce Italian Style\u201d, Steve McQueen in \u201cThe Thomas Crown Affair,\u201d and Jude Law in \u201cThe Talented Mr. Ripley,\u201d among others.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cCinema has always been central to Persol\u2019s identity \u2014 not only through the iconic figures who have worn our frames on screen, but through the shared values of craftsmanship, character, and timeless style,\u201d Valentina Cerchiari, senior marketing director at EssilorLuxottica North America, said in a statement. \u201cPartnering with Brooklyn Bridge Park for Movies With A View allows us to bring that legacy into a contemporary cultural setting, connecting Persol\u2019s Italian heritage with one of New York City\u2019s most beloved summer traditions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThroughout the series, the brand plans on-site activations drawing on its Spring\/Summer 2026 campaign, which is themed around the Italian Riviera. The campaign is centered on three key styles \u2014
PO8001S<\/a>, PO8002S<\/a>, and PO8003V<\/a> \u2014 which meld the brand\u2019s signature technical elements, including a newly developed bolt engraved with the iconic \u201cP,\u201d alongside an enhanced fit and reimagined temple design. You can shop the full lineup here<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tBrooklyn Bridge Park, a nonprofit that stretches 1.3 miles along the East River waterfront, relies on revenue from tenants and partnerships to fund its operations. The park hosts more than five million visitors annually. Movies With A View has been a fixture of New York City summers since 2001.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Persol and Brooklyn Bridge Park have announced a partnership to present Movies With A View, the park\u2019s long-running…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":228952,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[98,100,99,9,24,63,89927],"class_list":["post-228951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-persol"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228951","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228951"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228951\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
