Ten curated Scope NYC picks for Saturday, June 20.
Spike Lee's summer pressure cooker remains a New York essential, and a June afternoon at MoMI gives the screening the right seasonal charge.
Anthology is the definitive setting for Brakhage's handmade cinema, a focused repertory program strong enough to claim the second film slot.
Wayne Wonder and Lila Iké give the Bandshell a substantial reggae pairing, with enough cross-generational pull to make the outdoor set feel like an occasion.
Wilco at Forest Hills is the large-scale rock choice that still rewards attention, and the stadium's open-air setting suits their expansive catalog.
Pioneer Works frames Ash Fure's listening gym as an evening reception, turning a sound-focused installation into a real Red Hook gathering.
COMPANY's 6 p.m. opening gives the downtown art circuit a timed stop, and the show's sharp title promises more character than a passive gallery crawl.
Abrons puts Othello in an intimate downtown theater rather than a Broadway frame, making this the day's more specific Shakespeare option.
Graves brings a flamenco language shaped by Black diasporic inquiry to Lincoln Center, a performance with a stronger point of view than the routine stage calendar.
Hersch, Gress, and Erskine make the Vanguard the night's clearest jazz destination, with three exacting players built for close listening in that basement.
Yildirim and Grup Şimşek bring Anatolian psych and folk into National Sawdust, a vivid live bill that cuts across the safer Saturday bookings.
