What’s On
Late Fame
In Kent Jones’s marvelously witty second feature, a once-upon-a-time New York poet (Willem Dafoe) gets an ego boost when he is welcomed into the world of an emerging literary salon, but must reckon with the authenticity of his newfound circle of twentysomething admirers.
Scary Movies XIV
August 12 - 20
New York City’s premium showcase for the best in boundary-pushing horror and genre-bending cinema from around the globe premieres new works alongside special presentations of spine-tingling classics and rediscoveries, with filmmakers and special guests appearing for post-screening Q&As.
The Samurai and the Prisoner
Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s stately, meticulously composed period drama, set in 16th-century Japan, is a tense and metaphysical whodunit with the director’s characteristic philosophical overtones.
Franz
Opens August 21
Her most ambitious work to date, acclaimed writer-director Agnieszka Holland’s fevered and funny biopic gets thrillingly close to understanding Franz Kafka by refusing to pin him down to any one interpretation.
Bibliomania: A Preface to Chronovisor
August 28 - September 5
Spanning everything from Hollywood blockbusters and screwball comedy to ghost stories, procedural thrillers, the essay film, structural experiments, and text cinema, Bibliomania traces the many ways artists have transformed the taciturn labor of reading and research into cinema.
Samba Traoré
New 4K restoration opens August 28
Winner of the Silver Bear at the 1993 Berlinale and newly restored in 4K, the great Burkinabé writer-director Idrissa Ouédraogo’s Samba Traoré remains one of the decisive works of African cinema.

Chronovisor
Opens Sept. 4 featuring Q&As with Kevin Walker and Jack Auen
Inspired by the true story of a “fake” invention, Kevin Walker and Jack Auen’s Chronovisor follows a Columbia professor deep into a Borgesian labyrinth of textual clues pointing to a time-travel device rumored to have been suppressed by the Vatican.
The Piano
New 4K restoration
Jane Campion’s ravishing, Palme d’Or–winning breakthrough, starring Holly Hunter and Anna Paquin in Oscar-winning roles, returns to the big screen in a new 4K restoration—and still feels startlingly alive.
