HEARTLESS BASTARDS

Trio with a haunting pop sound, referencing the psychedelic art rock of the 60s with an undertow of late 70s punk.

DIRTY ON PURPOSE

Brooklyn-based quartet marries slacker charm, smart-alec wit, and punk irreverence with lush melodies, crisp arrangements, and a keen pop sensibility.

BE YOUR OWN PET

Defiantly low-fi Nashville independent quartet does punk without nihilism and pop without sticky-sweet saccharine coating.

Pop-punk-reggae sound, drawing not-too-far-off comparisons to The Police, only more focused, more intense, and more lyrically substantive.

ANTIBALAS

Collective of Brooklyn-based musicians carries on the soul of Fela Kuti, uniting highlife, jazz, funk, and traditional African elements with unabashed political messages inciting insurrection.

MIGHTY ROBOT A/V SQUAD

Video art collective from Brooklyn specializes in pairing improvised visuals with live music.

All four cinemas running all night long. Wander in, wander out, eat popcorn.

LINDSAY LOHAN MID-CAREER RETROSPECTIVE

Until recently, Lindsay Lohan was a bright and shining new star with nothing but promise (ah, remember those days?). This mid-career retrospective is a reminder of what made us love her and what she has become.

WHEN ANIMALS HUG!

Lions, tigers, and bears; they’re all here in this collection of features and short films starring our friends from the animal kingdom. The films range from live-action shorts to documentaries and trailers for movies where chimps play hockey; the only criteria is that animals are the leads!

BURNING DOWN THE HOUSE

A time-warp trip through punk rock’s past. It’s a marathon concert featuring electrifying performances from legendary musicians at the intersection of rock and punk.

STAY IN YOUR SEATS: THE PUSHER TRILOGY

This violent, edgy, and moving cult classic established Nicolas Winding Refn as an uncompromising filmmaker of great talent and depth. The trilogy stands as a masterful reinvention of international crime cinema, as poignantly human as it is brutally and viscerally realized.

LADIES OF UBIQUITA

DJ Reborn, DJ Moni, and DJ Selley will be joined by surprise guests.
