Anime After Dark 7 at Nitehawk Cinema

Series Site

Anime After Dark returns for its seventh year of midnite mayhem at Nitehawk Williamsburg, featuring five films that lean heavy into the weird and the wild while bumping a mean soundtrack to boot.

A trio of punks start a noise band on a whim in slacker comedy ON GAKU: OUR SOUND; the friendship between a boy and a robot girl triggers the downfall of an empire in Rintaro’s METROPOLIS (35mm); the work of five anime legends comes together in Studio 4°C’s anthology oddity GENIUS PARTY; a psychologist turns dream-surfing super hero in Satoshi Kon’s masterful PAPRIKA (35mm); and the fists fly in the pop masterpiece – and rarely screened – STREET FIGHTER II: THE ANIMATED MOVIE.
