Summer Fridays: Hit Girl, Japanese Cinema and Fr s Day in NYC
14/06/2013
Our new Summer Friday feature narrows down a plethora of options including film- and non-film related activities for you as you plan your weekend. NYC is full of endless possibilities over the next few days. You can choose among tributes to primates in pop culture, midnight movies from directors like Wes Craven and Matthew Vaughn, and Father's Day celebrations of all ilks in nearly every borough. Plus, our intern Freddie is back with more suggestions on activities that won't strain your budget.
Friday June 14th You Can't Keep Me Quiet! Films by Sarah Jacobson
Spectacle at 8:00 PM
Special Guest: Sam Green
Ticket: $5
Sarah Jacobson was an independent filmmaker who led a DIY filmmaking movement in the 90s with films like Mary Jane's Not A Virgin Anymore and I Was a Teenage Serial Killer. During her life, she formed Station Wagon Productions with her producer (and mom) Ruth Jacobson, and with her help, Sarah self-promoted and distributed her films all over the country. After her death in 2004, her mother and filmmaker Sam Green established the Sarah Jacobson Film Grant to support young female filmmakers with similar ideals. Come help celebrate this extraordinary filmmaker.
Kevin Geeks Out About Monkeys!
92YTribeca at 8:00PM
Ticket: $12
The doors are soon closing forever at 92YTribeca so enjoy the stellar programming offered by this remarkable institution while you still can! Hosted by comedian Kevin Maher, this 2-hour show will feature dozens of clips from classic movies and TV shows, in addition to pop songs and comedy shorts, all featuring apes, chimps, gorillas, orangutans, baboons and more. Complete with a panel of experts, the evening will include trivia, snacks, prizes and rare footage you won't find online.
Wes Craven's Deadly Blessing
Film Society at Lincoln Center at 11:59AM
Ticket: $13
The beloved Midnight Movie series is back at Film Society with Wes Craven's Deadly Blessing leading the charge. The horror auteur's underrated third feature follows a psycho on the loose in an Amish-like setting, with Ernest Borgnine as a loopy religious leader and an early appearance by Sharon Stone.
Saturday June 15th Benefiting The Sean Kimerling Testicular Cancer Foundation
Roosevelt Island at 10AM
Cost: $50 (Its charity!)
You've heard of the Running of the Bulls? Well, how about The Running of the Balls? Celebrate Father's Day early and help fight the most common cancer in young men. Join the Sean Kimerling Testicular Cancer Foundation on Roosevelt Island for the first annual The Running of the Balls 5K.
Ran with Tatsuya Nakadi (live in person)
MoMI at 2:00PM
Cost: Free (with purchase of museum admission)
See Akira Kurosawa's masterwork the way it was meant to be seen on the big screen! The legendary auetur's adaptation of King Lear, set in the epic days of the samurai, is among cinema's most enthralling Shakespeare adaptations and its great epics. The legendary Japanese actor Tastuya Nakadai (who plays the Lear-like tragic hero in the 1985 film) will be present for the screening.
Kick-Ass
Landmark Cinema at 12:00AM
Cost: $10
Tool up, honey bunny. Its time to get bad guys. Directed by Matthew Vaughn, Kiss-Ass follows the journey of Dave Lizewski, an ordinary teen (and rabid comic book fan) who longs to be a super hero. Adopting the persona of a vigilante, Kick-Ass, Dave takes to fighting crime and soon gets involved with Big Daddy (a brilliant Nic Cage) and his hit girl daughter (the breakout role for Chloe Grace Mortez) and their fight against a ruthless mob boss.
Sunday June16th SPOONS TOONS AND BOOZE: Father's Day Special
Nitehawk Cinema at 11:45 AM
Cost: $15
Celebrate Father's Day in Brooklyn with the STB crew! In honor of holiday, STB is putting together an extra special menu (in addition to their already sprawling brunch ) of cartoon episodes all about dads and the things they love like golf, fixing things, and reciting the moral at the end of an episode. Make sure to treat yourself (or your Dad) to a Cereal Shot, and the lovely Nitehawk staff will drop a shot of Baileys or Kahlua into your Wheaties.
Double Feature: Record of a Tenement Gentleman and There Was A Father
Film Forum (All Day)
Ticket: $12.50
Part of the Ozu series, this special Father's day at the Forum highlights two touching Japanese films about single-parenthood. Record of a Tenement Gentleman follows a widowed shopkeeper who finds herself in charge of a reserved, but filthy homeless boy whom she grows to love. There Was a Father chronicles the journey of a father who must labor for his estranged son's education after a traumatic incident at his job causes him to quit.
My Afghanistan: Life in the Forbidden Zone
Film Society of Lincoln Center at 8:30 PM
Ticket: $13
Part of the Human Rights Watch Festival, My Afghanistan: Life in the Forbidden Zone follows Nagieb Khaja, a Danish journalist of Afghan origin, on his quest to document the plight of the Afghan people. Since journalists are not able to move safely outside of the capital, contact with the civilian population in rural areas is almost impossible. Nagieb Khaja will appear in person to discuss his daring and ingenious decision to equip people in the outlying communities with mobile phones so that they could provide a rare glimpse into the war-torn existence of regular Afghans.
Freddie's Free Pick 3 First, I wanted to highlight a cool source to find free outdoor screenings happening around NYC this summer. It lists by day of the week all outdoor screenings planned in the city and let's me off the hook as far as trying to pick one for you each week. That said, check out the following:
