Above the Rim is a '90s New York basketball movie through and through, shot on Harlem blacktops, and Tupac Shakur's turn as the magnetic, menacing Birdie is a big reason people still quote it. Nitehawk Prospect Park is screening it from a 35mm print as part of a Tupac series, with brunch served at your seat. Pair it with a walk in Prospect Park after.
What to expect
A midday brunch screening in Nitehawk's converted 1920s Sanders Theatre building on Prospect Park West, projected from 35mm. Food and drinks come to your seat. The film runs about an hour and a half with a stacked G-funk soundtrack.
