Pulp Fiction
Going Steadi: 40 Years of Steadicam
December 16, 2016 - January 3, 2017
Quentin Tarantino’s ingeniously plotted, instant classic collection of shaggy dog L.A. stories crackles with spot-the-reference pop-culture allusions, a retro-cool soundtrack, and endlessly quotable dialogue. An NYFF32 selection.

An NYFF32 selection.
