Museum of the Moving Image's AFTER HOURS Series Kicks Off Tonight

Nighttime is generally the right time for going to the movies. With the new series After Hours, Museum of the Moving Image expands its schedule with an exciting slate of special screenings and events on weeknights, after the galleries have closed.

The series opens on Thursday, October 6, 2011, at 8:00 p.m. with special guests Martin Sheen and Emilio Estevez in person with a preview screening of their new film The Way. Programs continue weekly (usually on Thursdays) and will include preview screenings of anticipated new releases, personal appearances, and "second chance" screenings of recent releases.

Among the announced programs for fall/winter are the New York premiere of Jan Svankmajer's Surviving Life (December 1), on the occasion of an exhibition of his collages which will go on view at the Museum (opening November 17); preview screenings of Martha Marcy May Marlene with stars Elizabeth Olsen, Sarah Paulson, and John Hawkes in person (October 12), Azazel Jacobs's Terri (October 13), The Last Rites of Joe May with star Dennis Farina in person (October 27), and The Muppets (November 17); conversations with legendary maverick director Larry Cohen with a screening of The Private Files of J. Edgar Hoover (November 3), Alex Ross Perry with a screening of The Color Wheel (December 8), and James Gray with a screening of The Yards followed by a book signing (December 15). Additional events will be announced as they are scheduled.

"With After Hours, the Museum becomes at once a world-class showcase for great cinema and a great neighborhood place for a night out," said Chief Curator David Schwartz.
