New York has changed. The art of stealing hasn’t.

A love letter to the Big Apple’s grittier corners, The Only Living Pickpocket in New York is a new crime drama from writer-director Noah Segan, starring John Turturro alongside Giancarlo Esposito, Steve Buscemi, Tatiana Maslany, and Jamie Lee Curtis.

Harry Lehman is an aging pickpocket who plies his trade with ever-diminishing returns in a drastically changed New York. Wallets stuffed with cash have been replaced by easily cancelled credit cards, and Harry struggles to make ends meet as he cares for his disabled wife, Rosie. When he unwittingly purloins and fences a valuable USB stick, Harry finds himself in a race against time to return the loot or face the rage of a vengeful crime family.

With early acclaim for Turturro’s soulful performance and its portrait of a vanishing New York, The Only Living Pickpocket in New York brings old-school crime-movie cool to a city that never stops changing. Catch this acclaimed indie thriller on the big screen at The Frida Cinema!

Don’t miss out your chance to see La bola negra, the Oscars’ next big foreign language phenomenon, on the big screen at The Frida Cinema this November!

Spanning three different eras of Spanish history, La Bola Negra follows three men whose lives become mysteriously intertwined through secrets passed down through generations. From the shadow of the Spanish Civil War to a contemporary search for a forgotten family history, Los Javis (the name the two directors have lovingly been given over the years) weave together a sweeping queer epic about the people whose stories were erased.

The film’s Cannes premiere earned Los Javis the festival’s Best Director prize, it just won the prestigious Audience Award at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival (the first non-English language film to do so in fifteen years) and now…the Oscar buzz is very real. With Spain officially putting La Bola Negra forward for the 99th Academy Awards, the question is no longer whether this is one of the year’s major international films, it’s how far this extraordinary, wildly ambitious movie can go in the Best Picture race.

After 55 years…The Devils are finally unleashed!

Censored. Controversial. Practically impossible to see in its intended form. Now, Ken Russell’s The Devils is back. And this time, it’s in a brand new 4K restoration from the original camera negative, referencing the edit he privately constructed in 2004.

Based on the infamous true story of 17th-century French priest Urbain Grandier (Oliver Reed), The Devils follows a charismatic priest whose defiance of church and state makes him the target of a political conspiracy. When a sexually repressed nun (Vanessa Redgrave) accuses Grandier of witchcraft, an entire convent becomes consumed by an eruption of violence that threatens to tear the town apart.

This 1971 masterpiece is one of the most audacious films ever made and became one of the most notoriously censored films in British cinema. Don’t miss this extremely rare treat on the big screen!

Our long-running Friday the 13th on Friday the 13th series returns to where it all began with the 1980 original, this time projected on celluloid by our friends at See It On 16mm!

The story takes place at Camp Crystal Lake, a seemingly idyllic summer camp with a dark past. As a group of young counselors prepares to reopen the camp, they find themselves stalked by a mysterious killer. One by one, they fall victim to grisly attacks, culminating in a shocking twist.

With its clever kills and iconic score, the Friday the 13th franchise has become a staple over here at The Frida. We’ve played every entry in the series (except the remake) over the past ten years, and even ran a marathon of all ten movies last year. It seems like old traditions…won’t die! Let’s go back to where it all began!

Our award-winning resident performance troupe K.A.O.S. returns for their celebrated all-costumed, all-choreographed, all-leg-kicking live shadowcast presentation of 1975 cult classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show, performed on stage in front of the film!

Director Jim (Don’t squeeze the…) Sharman’s cult classic stars Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon as Brad and Janet, two virginal small-town lovers whose car breaks down in the shadows of a creepy old castle, where they encounter an odd collective of “unconventional conventionalists” gathered to witness transvestite scientist’s Dr. Frank-N-Furter’s latest creation – a muscular man named Rocky. As their innocence is lost, Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters, including tap-dancing Columbia, rocking biker Eddie, and of course, the castle’s “Sweet Transvestite” himself, Frank-N-Furter!

Adapted from the 1973 stage musical by Richard O’Brien, this glam cult classic is a cinematic experience unlike any other. Sing-along (and shout-along!) to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, a classic that still packs houses 50 years after its initial release! Get your tickets now before it sells out!

Doors open at 11:00pm  Official K.A.O.S. preshow starts at 11:30pm!  Movie at midnight!
