SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21 – 10 AM TO 2 AM

For the past two years, Spectacle’s brought the tradition of the hesuipian贺岁片 to New York audiences with our recurring series of Lunar New Year crowd pleasers that highlight the festivities, teachings, and customs typically associated with the holiday.

This year, to mark the end of Golden Week, we’re doubling– no, tripling– no, octupling down on our New Year showcase with an all-day mystery marathon featuring EIGHT holiday classics spanning over half a century of Chinese-language cinema. A veritable babaofan八宝饭 of comedy, romance, action, and fantasy guaranteed to bring you good fortune in the year ahead. Bring friends, bring family, bring food (yknow, since we likely won’t be able to work in a dinner break…), or just bring yourself and a healthy appetite for filmic comfort food.

Advance day passes are on sale now for $25. Single film tickets are $5 each and will be available at the door.

Our program begins at 10am and runs through midnight. Visit spectacletheater.com/the-lunar-new-year-marathon for programming notes and anticipated start times.

NOTE: Given the length of this program, each screening will begin promptly at its listed start time. Seating is available to both passholders and single-film ticketholders on a first-come, first-serve basis, and is not guaranteed for late arrivals.
