October 13 at 7:30pm +1
Spectacle · Williamsburg
A video mixtape of nostalgia, masculine crisis, and caustic youth. Canadian filmmakers Kalil Haddad and Ryan Steel present ten shorts plus their new collaboration BAND PRACTICE, all echoing the VHS era.
October 13 at 4:15pm +6
Brooklyn Academy of Music · Fort Greene • $17
John Wilson follows up his beloved HBO series with a documentary about concrete, yes, concrete. When he tries cramming his drab subject into the Hallmark movie formula, everything gloriously crumbles.
Oct. 14 & Oct. 15 at 5pm
Brooklyn Academy of Music · Fort Greene
On Tel Aviv rooftops at night, the people who built Israel's killing systems in Gaza confess on camera. From the filmmakers behind No Other Land, this is testimony you weren't meant to hear.
October 13 at 10pm +2
Spectacle · Williamsburg
A stuntman's one and only film, and it shows in the best way. This 1998 SOV curiosity packs three Draculas, a freak water-skiing accident, and Bruce Glover chewing scenery as Van Helsing into 88 gloriously unhinged minutes at Brooklyn's beloved volunteer-run microcinema.
October 14 at 10pm +3
Spectacle · Williamsburg
A pizza delivery driver dies mid-shift in the San Gabriel Valley, and his ghost lingers over the suburbs he once served. Chris Shields' nearly dialogue-free debut turns grief, night shifts, and greasy crusts into eerie, hypnotic cinema.

Spectacle · Williamsburg
Psychedelic rust belt horror

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
