Part of the Philadelphia Film Society's Series - New York: A Character in Itself
At the dawning of a new year–and the US semiquincentennial at that–we are feeling a little bit of love and maybe some optimism towards our neighbor to the north with its new mayoral administration. Throughout January we’re exploring a selection of popcorn flicks, indie hits, and a slew of scuzzy After Hours titles that all feature the Big Apple’s undeniable Main Character Energy.
