Stranger, smaller-room, and in-the-know Scope NYC picks for Tuesday, August 4.
Light Industry gives this screening the feel of an intentional cinephile gathering, not just another repertory slot.
Wonderville is the right home for a game-like theater listing whose title sounds handmade and slightly chaotic.
Spectacle is built for a title this scrappy, especially when the appeal is cultish rather than polished.
Silent shorts at Pioneer Works should pull a more curious cross-disciplinary crowd than a normal screening.
That title at The Slipper Room has enough downtown oddness to beat the day's more generic movie options.
A D&D night inside a comedy and board-game bar is niche by design, with the social awkwardness baked in.
The opera-meets-jazz phrasing at Ornithology points to a night with stranger edges than a standard set.
The title and Starr Bar setting point to a comedy crowd with its own vocabulary and no interest in smoothing it out.
Late vinyl at Mezzrow is a narrow jazz-head lane for people who want the night to turn collector-minded.
A Smalls jam this late is more musician-facing than showcase-polished, which is exactly the appeal.
