Punks

Midnite weekend screenings happen on Friday & Saturday nights (meaning arrive on Friday and/or Saturday night by 11:45pm for seating, the movie starts after midnite)!

Director: Patrik-Ian Polk Run Time: 91 min. Format: 35mm Rating: R Release Year: 2000

Starring: Seth Gilliam, Dwight Ewell, Andre Johnson, Rockmond Dunbar, Jazzmun, Renoly Santiago

In collaboration with LAROSE Cinema, a Brooklyn based microcinema dedicated to bringing visibility to Black LGBTQ+ films and filmmakers, founded and programmed by Cameron Woods

Celebrated for its candid and realistic depiction of African-American gay men, the groundbreaking Punks premiered at Sundance in 2000 and won awards on the film festival circuit before becoming mostly undistributed and unavailable to see anywhere. Focusing on four friends navigating the dating world to find their mythical Mr. Rights, this vivacious debut film from writer-director Patrik-Ian Polk is an outrageously spirited ensemble comedy with verve and wit. Unprecedented in the way it captures black gay life and romance, Punks also explores universal aspects of friendship in dynamic and surprising ways.
