Rami Malek sings and performs as Jimmy George, a cabaret artist living with AIDS in 1980s New York, opposite Tom Sturridge, Rebecca Hall and Luther Ford. Ira Sachs, coming off Passages and Peter Hujar's Day, draws on his own arrival in the city at the height of the epidemic.

What to expect
The 3:30pm Francesca Beale Theater screening is followed by a Q&A with Ira Sachs, Rami Malek and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. The film runs 97 minutes and features live-feeling musical performances; the encore at the Walter Reade Theater has no guests listed.
Good to know
- The 1 train to 66 St–Lincoln Center lets you out a block from the festival theaters.
- Q&A screenings with stars draw heavy demand; if tickets sell out, a standby line forms at the theater.
- The Q&A screening falls in the afternoon, which can make standby a little easier than evening shows.
- The Francesca Beale Theater is inside the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center at 144 W 65th St.
- Expect mature themes, including illness and sexuality.
