Since any New York City cinephile has a nearly suffocating wealth of theatrical options, we figured it’d be best to compile some of the more worthwhile repertory showings into one handy list. Displayed below are a few of the city’s most reliable theaters and links to screenings of their weekend offerings — films you’re not likely to see in a theater again anytime soon, and many of which are, also, on 35mm. If you have a chance to attend any of these, we’re of the mind that it’s time extremely well-spent.
Museum of the Moving Image
Several more titles play in the Museum’s excellent Maurice Pialat retrospective. Read more about his work here.
Wiseman‘s Model and Central Park show on Saturday and Sunday, respectively.
Anthology Film Archives
Olivier Assayas‘s Irma Vep and its central inspiration, Louis Feuillade‘s eight-hour Les Vampires, play on Friday and Saturday & Sunday, respectively, for “Les Vampires & Musidora.”
Confession, from the director of the legendary Hausu, plays under “Unessential Cinema,” and sounds just as insane.
