June 17th 2015. Pick of the Day.
New York City's premiere resource for classic film screenings in the metropolitan area. Offering reviews, recommendations, venues and a host of links keeping classic film and the silver screens alive.
The pickins be slim but cherce this day. And I'll have you know the interactive calendar's been updated to include the beginnings of outdoor movie season, the next entry in IFC's Celluloid Dreams series, and he newly malware-free BowTie Chelsea Cinema site. Doesn't that all just scream Summer '15?
Continuing series this day include the trib to legendary DP Gabriel Figueroa at Film Forum, and Glorious Technicolor: From George Eastman House and Beyond & 3-D Summer! at MoMA. The tomfoolery be thus;
Film Forum
SALON MEXICO (1949) Dir; Emilio Fernàndez
NAZARIN (1958) Dir; Luis Buñuel
MoMA
Glorious Technicolor: From George Eastman House and Beyond
REDSKIN (1929) Dir; Victor Schertzinger
THE YEARLING (1946) Dir; Clarence Brown
HONDO (1953) Dir; John Farrow
Today's Pick? As I have some time left to choose the Technicolor and 3-D series at MoMA, I'm going with the slowly winding down Gabriel Figueroa series at Film Forum, which today boasts Emilio Fernàndez's SALON MEXICO and Luis Buñuel's NAZARIN! Vivé Film, Stockahz!

P. S. The warm cuddle of the sun's friendlier disposition seems finally to have arrived, but believe it or not some of our fellow NY'ers have still yet to be made whole in the wake of the 2012 storm. Should you be feeling charitable please visit the folks at OccupySandy.net, follow their hammer-in-hand efforts to restore people's lives, and donate/volunteer if you have the inclination and availability. Be a collective mensch, Stockahz!
