"Broken Embraces," starring Penelope Cruz and directed by Pedro Almodovar, is just one of the many films viewers can find on the silver screen at Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington.
What can be said about Cinema Arts Centre that hasn’t been already? At the film forefront with independent and foreign cinema, behind-the-scenes discussions and quirky film symposiums, CAC is a rare gem. With so many theaters trading integrity for stadium seating and blockbusters, CAC has remained the vanguard of respected cinema, inviting patrons not only to see films, but experience the world in which they exist. That’s why Press readers have voted it one of the Best of L.I. for half a decade.
