Stranger, smaller-room, and in-the-know Scope NYC picks for Sunday, April 19.

Dates

Sections

Events

  1. Mama Left (by Going Right)

    2:30 PM · Caveat

    A Sunday afternoon Caveat event with this title is already halfway to the right answer.

  2. La révolution n’est qu’un début. Continuons le combat

    4:30 PM · Anthology Film Archives

    Anthology keeps winning this list by programming films that sound like they might start an argument.

  3. Returning Time

    5:15 PM · Anthology Film Archives

    This is the sort of quiet repertory pick that rarely gets caught unless you are looking closely.

  4. Arcana

    6:30 PM · Anthology Film Archives

    A title this ominous at Anthology needs very little extra selling.

  5. Another Night of Literary Karaoke

    7:00 PM · Seventh Heaven Bar & Karaoke

    This is specific enough to feel local instead of gimmicky.

  6. PUPPET MOVIE NIGHT

    7:00 PM · Cassette

    Cassette remains a good room for events that sound improvised in the best way.

  7. Vaudeville 3000

    7:00 PM · ALPHAVILLE

    A title like this belongs in Bushwick, and ALPHAVILLE is still where that kind of promise gets tested.

  8. RAAAATSCRAPS: The Best Improv Show in the World

    7:30 PM · Caveat

    If you want something unabashedly unserious with real room energy, this is the slot.

  9. Gold Pylon / Tender is the Night

    TBC · The Club at La MaMa, New York, NY

    A La MaMa double bill this opaque is exactly the sort of thing the main guide can miss.

  10. a hole new world.

    TBC · Community Arts Space at La MaMa, New York, NY

    The title is ridiculous in the right way, which is reason enough to keep an eye on it.
