The Clipper Coffee Shop
in City Island is introducing
a new form of entertainment
for patrons -- movie night.
Since opening its doors
in September 2018, the Clipper
Coffee Shop, located at
247 City Island Avenue, has
transformed into a community
center hosting live art
shows, karaoke night, and
a used bookstore for booklovers.
“It’s more than just a caffeine
fi x,” said owner Peter
Gennari. “It’s also a place
where people can come and
eat, hang out and meet their
neighbors and that’s something
we’ve never had before.
The art and fi lm are from local
people and it’s great to
highlight local people from
the Bronx.”
The horror-comedy fi lm,
‘Batraticus’ by City Island
resident and fi lmmaker,
Jerry Landi, will be featured
at the shop on Saturday, November
9.
“We made the movie
called ‘Clipper Coffee’ for the
one-year anniversary and everyone
said we should show
movies here,” said Landi,
who started managing the
coffee shop with Gennaris.
“We have a lot of creative
people here in City Island
and the Bronx.”
There will be a mix of horror,
drama, comedy and documentaries,
shown at least
once a month, according to
Landi. So far, seven fi lmmakers
have agreed to screen
their movies at the coffee
shop.
Meanwhile, Alexander
Evans, has been curating
artwork for the Clipper Coffee
Gallery for the past seven
months. They’re preparing
for their upcoming sixth art
show, Evans said. “There
was no dedicated space that
anyone on City Island or anywhere
in the Bronx could
hang their work on a monthly
basis for no upfront cost,”
said Evans, who has been a
loyal patron at the shop promoting
business and creating
a space for the community.
“One of the great qualities
of having an art gallery in
a coffee shop is that you get
to walk in and there are moments
where a new show goes
up and you’re surprised.”
The Clipper Coffee Gallery
currently has various
art displays, including sculptural
wall hangings, embroidery
and works crafted out of
paper towel.
Local artists interested in
showcasing their artwork in
the upcoming Clipper Coffee
Gallery show have until Friday,
November 7 to submit
1 to 2 pieces of artwork. All
submissions are welcomed
from anywhere in the fi ve
boroughs and can be sent to:
disharoonpresents@gmail.
com.
Filmmakers interested
in screening their fi lms at
the Clipper Coffee Shop can
contact Jerry Landi at: landijerry@
yahoo.com.
