For any screenings with 35mm prints, always be prepared that we may have to use a DCP.digital backup just in case.

You can get two for one (two tickets for the price of one) to any individual movie or get the GROOVY DOUBLE FEATURE pass (best deal) while supplies last.

Also plan to visit the historic Grand Central Market just next door for breakfast, lunch, or early dinner before, between, or after the movies. You can bring in food and drink from the market into the theater!

10a BARBARELLA (1968) 35mm The late 60's were a pretty crazy time. The world was on fire with protest, war, unrest. And yet creativity and the arts were heading into psychedlic, mind-melting (often drug induced) new territories of visual, sexual, musical expression. It's not that the movies or works were always great. But they still stand as wildly entertaining communiques from a swinging and experimental time. See Exhibit A: Jane Fonda's & Roger Vadim's sci-fi comedy WTF movie Barbarella. Celebrity couple Vadim and Fonda wanted to work together and choose this sci-fi comic to adapt in wild color. Fonda's Barbarella is a space traveller and rep for the Earth who must travel to some pretty amazingly production designed spaceships and planets to stop a weapon from being used to end humanity. Along the way she meets an angel , gets trapped in a labyrinth, makes a sex machine explode (you gotta see the movie). Watch all this 60's grooviness on an archive 35mm print.
