See It On 16mm is back at The Frida to unspool the 1933 adventure classic King Kong!
Adventurous filmmaker Carl Denham sets out to produce a motion picture unlike anything the world has seen before. Alongside his leading lady Ann Darrow and his first mate Jack Driscoll, they arrive on an island and discover a legendary creature said to be neither beast nor man. Denham captures the monster to be displayed on Broadway as King Kong, the eighth wonder of the world.
Over 80 years later, King Kong has been remade and ripped off a hundred times over, but nothing can ever compare to the original! See it where it deserves to be seen: on the big screen!
