THE DARK CRYSTAL is a go at the Pier!

13 Aug

The weather gods have shined on us. While it may have been looking pretty grey and stormy all day, the radar is showing clear skies ahead for Red Hook this evening and we’re going to keep things out doors, just the way we like them. THE DARK CRYSTAL starts at 8:30 this evening, and to warm things up we’ll be opening with a special short film from our screening partner ART21 about the artist Alex Da Corte. See you at the Pier!

THE DARK CRYSTAL . . . coming 8/13!

In just a few weeks Netflix will release it’s DARK CRYSTAL prequel AGE OF RESISTANCE and whether you’re a fan of Jim Henson’s groundbreaking original film, or curious what all the brouhaha is about, Tuesday night’s screening is for you. Directed by Henson and Frank Oz, THE DARK CRYSTAL was a decided departure from typical muppet’s fare. The pioneering fantasy follows Jen, the last of the Gelfling race, as he tries to reunite the warring tribes on his world by restoring the missing piece of a powerful gem that once provided balance to the universe.

THE DARK CRYSTAL is brought to us this week by Fulla Shirts and Mark’s Pizza, who will be on hand serving up slices of their classic New York pies. And as always Steve’s Key Lime will be open late to dish out his signature tarts and swingles. So come on down and we’ll see you at the pier!
