August 30, 2017 6:30PM - 8:30PM at House of Wax
Wednesdays in August we’re bringing some of New York’s finest film experts to the Steven A Schwarzman Building, where they'll present one-time-only movie nights that they’ve curated from the Library for the Performing Arts’ 60-plus-year-old collection of 16mm films. Get out of the heat and watch wonderful and strange docs, shorts, tv movies, and features selected and presented in-person by curators from the Library for the Performing Arts, Alamo Drafthouse, Maysles Documentary Center, and the Criterion Collection.
August 30th’s program is curated and presented in-person by Cristina Cacioppo, chief programmer at the Alamo Drafthouse Brooklyn. She has picked a double feature of two vintage TV movies, one based on a story by Ray Bradbury and the other on one by Isaac Asimov:
“The Electric Grandmother” (1981, dir. Noel Black)
“The Ugly Little Boy” (1977, Learning Corporation of America)
