When the dead rise and attack the living, Juan starts a zombie-killing business, until he has to save his small band from being eaten.

Uncropped rediscovers the work of James Hamilton, one of the great chroniclers of the cultural history of America. For over four decades working as a staff photographer at publications such as Harper’s Bazaar, The New York Observer and, most notably, The Village Voice, Hamilton captured some of the most remarkable people and stories of the last half century.

A New York legend himself, Hamilton created iconic images of musicians like Charles Mingus, Patti Smith and Lou Reed, took intimate portraits of everyone from Liza Minnelli to Alfred Hitchcock, broke off to do set photography for George Romero, Noah Baumbach and Wes Anderson, and pursued powerful and controversial assignments across the U.S. and the world. All the while he never stopped amassing a stunning visual chronicle of his beloved New York City in all its grit and glory.

In particular, Uncropped explores the unique position The Village Voice held in New York life, and the way in which Hamilton’s remarkable body of work exemplified the paper’s provocative merging of art and journalism. His story and vast archive offer a singular window into the heyday of alternative print media.

Directed by D.W. Young (The Booksellers) and executive produced by Wes Anderson.

Warning: Images are not from the movies we’re showing. Trust us, you can’t imagine what we’re showing!

Fast, cheap and out of control, this flick comes from a hardworking stuntman and action choreographer who spent his career taking falls for a paycheck in movies like Viagara Madness and Sex From Beyond the Grave. But occasionally he’d round up all the stunt actors he knew to make a trashy low budget action flick and the movie we’re screening today might be his greatest accomplishment. With some of Hong Kong’s most badass female fighters, five different action directors, and a rogue’s gallery of Hong Kong character actors, it’s the motion picture equivalent of a getting blasted on a six-pack of Budweiser in your the back of your truck.

Set in the influential New York music scene of the early 60s, A Complete Unknown follows 19-year-old Minnesota musician Bob Dylan’s (Timothée Chalamet) meteoric rise as a folk singer to concert halls and the top of the charts – his songs and mystique becoming a worldwide sensation – culminating in his groundbreaking electric rock and roll performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.

Starring: Amy Adams, Scoot McNairy, Kerry O’Malley, Zoë Chao, Mary Holland, Jessica Harper

A woman (Amy Adams) pauses her career to be a stay-at-home mom, but soon her new domesticity takes a surreal turn.

An up-close cinematic walkabout through the life of Gary Young, the original (and highly unlikely) drummer of indie rock royalty Pavement. His booze and drugs-fueled antics (on-stage handstands, gifting vegetables to fans) and haphazard production methods (accidentally helping launch the lo-fi aesthetic) were both a driving force of the band’s early rise and the cause of his eventual crash landing.

Leaving a wake of joy and/or destruction at every turn, Gary teeters the thin line between free-form self-expression and chaotic self-destruction. Thirty years on with scoliosis, blood clots, and a shriveled liver, Gary is still drumming with no regrets. Note: no puppets were harmed in the making of this film.

Starring: James McAvoy, Mackenzie Davis, Aisling Franciosi, Alix West Lefler, Dan Hough, Scoot McNairy
