Dates

Sections

Events

  1. The Virgin's Bed

    6:30 PM · Anthology Film Archives

    Anthology on a Thursday is still how the week gets a little rougher around the edges.

  2. (special event!) World Book Day Greenpoint Reading Party

    7:00 PM · Red Rover, Brooklyn, NY

    The parenthetical enthusiasm is part of the appeal here, not a problem to solve.

  3. Writing Rhythms: World Book Day Premiere

    7:00 PM · Lightning Society, New York, NY

    A new writing series with this much self-belief is worth at least one look.

  4. The Misconceived

    7:00 PM · Museum of the Moving Image

    A Museum of the Moving Image screening this oddly titled tends to be more rewarding than it first sounds.

  5. NYU Game Center Lecture Series Presents Chris Plante

    7:00 PM · NYU Game Center

    Game Center talks are one of the better ways to catch the city's ideas crowd without the usual varnish.

  6. Rebel Book Club New York City x MIND GAMES

    7:00 PM · TALEA Beer Penn District

    A book club in a beer hall can still feel sharper than most official literary programming.

  7. Late Eternalisms – New York Views and Beyond

    7:30 PM · Anthology Film Archives

    A title this grandiose at Anthology is rarely a waste of time.

  8. The Unsolved Love Hotel Murder Case Incident

    7:30 PM · Spectacle

    Spectacle is exactly where a movie with this name should be seen.

  9. Major Fix: PowerPoint lecture series about personal obsessions

    9:30 PM · Caveat

    Caveat has built a whole ecology around people taking their obsessions too seriously, which is useful.

  10. Reform School Students

    10:00 PM · Spectacle

    The late-film slot stays strongest when it feels a little disreputable.
