New York premiere
Heavy Healing dives into the worlds of metal, hardcore punk, and underground hip-hop to reveal how loud music scenes become lifelines for people navigating disability, illness, trauma, and mental health challenges. Through raw, personal stories from musicians, fans, and industry voices, the film pushes back against clichés of “aggressive” music and spotlights community care, creative survival, and the deep bonds forged in packed rooms where volume becomes connection. Featuring voices linked to Bowling for Soup, Killswitch Engage, Sick of It All, Agnostic Front, and more, the film reframes heavy music as a space of resilience, belonging, and shared healing.

Richie Rich (Macaulay Culkin) has every toy any little boy could ever want, in addition to an adoring mother (Christine Ebersole) and father (Edward Herrmann). The one thing Richie doesn’t have is friends. When his parents suddenly go missing, Richie suspects an executive (John Larroquette) in the family company is to blame. Setting out to solve the mystery, Richie hooks up with a group of kids who prove they just might fill the void in his life, while helping him save his folks.
Starring: Clint Eastwood, Charlie Sheen, Raul Julia, Sonia Braga, Tom Skerritt, Lara Flynn Boyle
Guest hosted by film programmer and editor Clyde Folley
When grizzled detective Nick Pulovski (Clint Eastwood) teams up with eager newcomer David Ackerman (Charlie Sheen), their mismatched styles collide hard. Pulovski punches first and files paperwork never; Ackerman overthinks and overfeels. Thrown into a high-stakes case involving a slick international car-theft ring (led by Raul Julia and Sônia Braga… as Germans?), the duo careens through explosions, interrogations, and plenty of emotional baggage.
Directed by Eastwood, the action excess of The Rookie gives it an 80s feel, making it hard to believe that just two years later he’d be an awards darling with Unforgiven. Well, if you don’t have a good time watching this, you oughta have your ass removed!
Starring: Kyōko Tongū, Saeko Shimazu, Chikao Ōtsuka, Katsuji Mori
It’s rough out there in outer space and when calamity strikes the hapless humans of the United Galactica Federation, there’s only one place for them to turn: Trouble Consultant team 234, codename: THE DIRTY PAIR. When the hot-headed duo gets put on a case, the problem’s sure to be solved… they’ll blow up everything along with it, but the problem? Solved.
Drawing inspiration from outer-space action flicks, city pop bangers, and Japanese pro-wrestling, this classic piece of popcorn pop brings the popular light novel and TV duo to the big screen in epic fashion. The music-packed film features songs by Miki Matsubara, and top-tier animation by Studio Sunrise. Watch out, the Dirty Pair is on the way!
Starring: Gloria Swanson, Walter Byron, Seena Owen, Tully Marshall
4K restoration
It should have been a dream collaboration: a glamorous world-famous movie star (Gloria Swanson) and her financier lover (Joseph P. Kennedy) hire a celebrated director (Erich von Stroheim) to make a groundbreaking masterpiece. Instead, Queen Kelly was canceled mid-production and became the most infamous unfinished film in cinema history. Von Stroheim’s baroque and obsessive drama opens in a European country ruled by a mad Queen (Seena Owen) obsessed with her feckless fiancé, “Wild” Prince Wolfram (Walter Byron). The dissolute prince falls for an innocent but flirtatious convent girl, Patricia Kelly (Swanson), kidnaps her, and brings her to his rooms. When the Queen discovers the lovers, she horsewhips the girl. Returning to the convent, Kelly receives a telegram, summoning her to German East Africa, where her dying aunt begs the girl to wed the syphilitic owner, Jan (Tully Marshall) of the seedy brothel. Basing his reconstruction on von Stroheim’s original scripts, Dennis Doros has employed multiple techniques to recreate the film’s lurid dénouement. Featuring a new orchestral score by Eli Denson.
