New 35mm Print!
In recognition of our inaugural John Schlesinger Award(given to a first-time narrative or documentary feature director), we present a brand new 35mm print of his most notorious Academy Award winning film. Straight-from the-sticks stud wannabe Jon Voight and seedy tenement squatter Dustin Hoffman form an unlikely but poetic partnership with each other amidst the gritty, grubby underside of New York City's Times Square.
