"April O'Neil comes down out of City Hall as the ace reporter and then walks into the Hoyt-Schermerhorn station. That secret, that the Downtown Brooklyn station is subbing in for City Hall, is at the heart of an upcoming film series at BAM."
"Participating in a filmic Easter egg hunt is part of the fun of the series to BAM Rose Cinemas Senior Manager Adam Goldberg, who helped put together the screenings."
"The planned showings are, in part, an attempt to celebrate the station - which is just a few blocks from the theater - and its 90th birthday."
"For decades, it served as a critical junction point between two important subway lines: the IND Crosstown line and IND Fulton Street line."
The BAM film series titled "Hoyt-Schermerhorn: Stand Clear of the Closing Doors" showcases films featuring scenes shot at the Hoyt-Schermerhorn subway station. Notably, the 1990 film "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" uses the station as a stand-in for City Hall. The series aims to highlight the station's significance, which opened in 1936 and served as a key junction for subway lines. The screenings encourage audiences to recognize the station's role in various films and celebrate its historical importance.
