For November I’ll be focusing on No Wave Cinema, a short-lived but highly influential punk and transgressive movement in New York City from the mid 1970s to the mid 1980s, mostly on the Lower East Side. Some of these films may be hard to come by but I’ll do my best. I’ll be starting out with the 2011 documentary BLANK CITY before diving into the No Wave films themselves.
