About
Kiyoshi Kurosawa's new feature opens at the corner of Sixth and Third with four showtimes a day and a director Q&A on the schedule.
Kiyoshi Kurosawa has spent thirty years making some of the most unnerving films in world cinema, and an opening run at IFC Center means catching him in a five-screen basement on Sixth Avenue rather than waiting for a streaming drop. The theater schedules four shows a day plus a director Q&A on the opening run, the sort of thing that fills fast and never gets rescheduled. A serious film, a real audience, and Village bars two doors down for the argument after.
What to expect
Expect a compact downstairs auditorium, a crowd of committed repertory and world-cinema regulars, and showtimes spread from late morning to late evening. The lobby stocks the theater's usual run of series programming, so it is worth checking what else is playing the same weekend. Seats are unreserved in some houses, so arrive with time.
Good to know

- Book ahead for the Q&A screening; those sell out first
- Auditoriums are downstairs; ask staff about elevator access
- The concession skews indie-cinema simple - eat on Bleecker before or after
- Check the marquee for the repertory series running alongside the new release
