What’s On
It Was Just an Accident
Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi reaffirms his status as one of this century’s great cinematic heroes in perhaps his bravest film yet, a tale of revenge and moral choice that won him the Palme d’Or at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.
The Mastermind
Against a Nixon-era backdrop of alienation and disillusionment, a taciturn family man (Josh O’Connor) makes the rash, largely inscrutable decision to orchestrate a heist at the local art museum in this restrained and often funny anti-thriller from Kelly Reichardt (Showing Up, NYFF60).
Nouvelle Vague
Opens October 31—first week presented on 35mm!
The spirit of cinematic revolution is alive and well in Richard Linklater’s affectionate and wildly entertaining passion project, which transports the viewer back to a creative landmark: the 1959 making of Breathless by Jean-Luc Godard.
Peter Hujar’s Day
Opens November 7 featuring Q&As with Ira Sachs
Ira Sachs’s mesmerizing latest film is based on rediscovered transcripts from an unused 1974 interview by nonfiction writer Linda Rosenkrantz (Rebecca Hall), in which photographer Peter Hujar (Ben Whishaw) narrates the events of the previous day in minute detail.
