New Plaza Cinema’s\u00a0regular programming will be on hiatus over the weekends of May 3-5 and 10-12 during a series of CUNY student-related events, one\u00a0of which (see below) will have some limited free screening tickets available to our patrons.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
As a result, we’re packing this weekend’s schedule with\u00a0more films than usual, including multiple\u00a0reprises of our sell-out hits, Woody Allen’s Coup de Chance<\/em><\/strong> and the rockumentary Heaven Stood Still: The Incarnations of Willy DeVille.<\/em><\/strong> Also encoring: Farewell Mr Haffmann<\/strong>,<\/em> Karaoke<\/em><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>and Kristen Stewart in Love Lies Bleeding<\/em><\/strong>.\u00a0 Our previously-announced screening of Kiss Me Kosher<\/em>, with guest John Carroll Lynch, has been postponed. We hope to reschedule it later this spring.\u00a0<\/p>\n Our one new release this week comes from producer-director Uberto Pasolini, nephew of the legendary Luchino Visconti (The Leopard<\/em>) and best known here for the Oscar-nominated The Full Monty<\/em>. The film is Nowhere Special<\/em><\/strong>, an inspired-by-true-events chronicle of a Belfast working class, single father (James Norton, featured in Greta Gerwig’s Little Women<\/em> and the UK policier Happy Valley<\/em>) compelled by tragic circumstances to find a family to raise his son. Currently tracking at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, a diverse group of international critics has praised the movie’s unsentimental approach and attention to emotional\u00a0detail. Check out Glenn Kenny’s review in this Friday’s New York Times<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n On Sunday, filmmaker David Licata will join us after a screening of his recent documentary, A Life’s Work<\/em><\/strong>, which poses the question: “What is it like to dedicate your life to work that won’t be completed in your own lifetime?” Licata examined four ambitious projects and the people behind them, in a moving effort to find some answers.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n Later that afternoon, Max Alvarez and I will screen and discuss Terrence Malick’s classic Badlands<\/em><\/strong>, starring Martin Sheen, Sissy Spacek, and Warren Oates, part of our salute this month to the amazing movie year of 1974 and an example, I think, of cinematic “perfect pitch.”<\/p>\n Finally, as mentioned above, on Thursday May 9th and Saturday May 11th, CUNY’s Macaulay Honors College will present an LGBT Film Festival including some selections curated by New Plaza Cinema: the classic nineties documentaries Paris Is Burning<\/em> and The Celluloid Closet<\/em>, and the 2008 feature Milk<\/em>, featuring Sean Penn’s Oscar-winning performance as San Francisco city supervisor Harvey Milk, winner of that year’s Best Picture award from the NY Film Critics Circle. Please check your email, Facebook<\/a>, X\/Twitter,<\/a> and Instagram<\/a> accounts for further details on showtimes and a limited number of free tickets which will be available for each screening.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Gary Palmucci, Film Curator <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_sidebar orientation=”right” _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_sidebar][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" New Plaza Cinema’s\u00a0regular programming will be on hiatus over the weekends of May 3-5 and 10-12 during a series of CUNY student-related events, one\u00a0of which (see below) will have some limited free screening tickets available to our patrons.\u00a0\u00a0 As a result, we’re packing this weekend’s schedule with\u00a0more films than usual, including […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"give_campaign_id":0,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19758","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-garys-corner"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newplazacinema.org\/test_area\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19758","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newplazacinema.org\/test_area\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newplazacinema.org\/test_area\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newplazacinema.org\/test_area\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newplazacinema.org\/test_area\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19758"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/newplazacinema.org\/test_area\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19758\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19762,"href":"https:\/\/newplazacinema.org\/test_area\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19758\/revisions\/19762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newplazacinema.org\/test_area\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19758"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newplazacinema.org\/test_area\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19758"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newplazacinema.org\/test_area\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19758"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
