Spring is a season of transformation, and with it comes a new batch of films to change the way you look at the world.
After the parade of prestige pictures during Oscar season, spring offers a welcome palate cleanser of indie gems that are quirky, edgy, poignant and delightful in their authentic weirdness. From adaptations of bestsellers to Kelly Reichardt's art heist flick to a movie best described as "Love Actually with leather," this lineup offers a variety of escapes into great storytelling.
This spring also includes our first forays into new media, with an installation of Being (the Digital Griot), a voguing AI teacher and an immersive audio presentation of Hamlet, a communal listening experience followed by a conversation with actors Daniel Kyri and Sharon Washington '81.
Speaking of groundbreaking art, we're collaborating with the Institute for Black International and Cultural Life to celebrate Sinners, which earned a record-breaking 16 Academy Award nominations. The weekend festivities include a band, a dance performance and a conversation with actress Wunmi Mosaku.
Rounding out the lineup are specialty programs like the NY International Children's Film Festival, several Art on Screen programs and the DFS series exploring Borders and Belonging, with a range of new documentaries and landmark classics. Check out the full lineup below!
Hop Film is funded in part by the Orton Hicks 1921 Film Fund and the Philip Fowler 1927 Fund for the Hopkins Center.
