THE CLASS OF '96
Whether you were hitting the multiplex or coming of age with video store rentals and basic cable, 1996 is a year of movies that stands out. Here you have a strong slate of independent movies like WELCOME TO THE DOLLHOUSE and I SHOT ANDY WARHOL co-mingling with jubilant blockbusters like SPACE JAM and TWISTER, plus debuts of filmmakers including Wes Anderson (BOTTLE ROCKET) and Nicole Holofcener (WALKING AND TALKING). Also notable: 1996 is the year our predecessor in Prospect Park, The Pavilion, opened for business.
Join us to revisit a selection of these films, with special guest introductions and filmmaker Q&As, plus hosts of our series MISS MALICE PRESENTS and LET’S MAKE A MOVIE adding some spice.
