What’s On

Film

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.

Festival

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.

Film

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.

Film

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.

Series

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.

Film

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.

Film

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.

Film
