In 1977, PK, a 23-year-old Delhi street artist from a poor, ‘untouchable’ family, picked up a handful of paintbrushes and a second-hand bicycle and set off on a 6000-mile cross-continent mission – to find Lotta, the woman who had captured his heart.

Swiss-Kenyan filmmaker Damien Hauser's sci-fi romance film MEMORY OF PRINCESS MUMBI is now playing at Digital Gym Cinema. 🎟️ Get tickets online at the 🔗🔝 or walk up in person at our box office.

In 2093, filmmaker Kuve travels to Umata to document the aftermath of a war that revived ancient kingdoms. There, he meets Mumbi, who challenges him to make his film without the use of AI. As Kuve searches for his own voice, he begins to realize that even in a broken world, beauty can be found in the small human moments we often overlook. A visually stunning Afrofuturist film, MEMORY OF PRINCESS MUMBI is, as the Zurich jury put it, “both intimate in its focus on characters and monumental in the breadth of its imagined landscapes.” Variety calls it “a playful, bittersweet meta-fiction that is part love story, part mockumentary.”

Huge thank you to Greg Vrotsos for visiting our cinema last night for a screening of his charming, life-affirming directorial debut feature SITUATIONS. 💟 It was heartwarming to see our guests respond so well to the film's themes of heartbreak, friendship, and the ongoing journey of self-discovery in adulthood delivered with deadpan, down-to-earth humor. We extend our gratitude to everyone who stuck around after the credits and joined us for an engaging post-screening Q&A! Long live independent filmmaking and independent arthouse cinemas! 🎥🫰✨

Kent Jones' latest feature LATE FAME, an examination of art and ambition, is now playing at Digital Gym Cinema. 🎟️ Tickets are available for purchase at the 🔗🔝 or in person at our box office.

The great Willem Dafoe lends his delicate gravitas to the role of Ed Saxberger, a forgotten New York poet who works in the post office. After an eager and flattering young admirer (Edmund Donovan) appears on his doorstep, Saxberger is beckoned into a coterie of twentysomething admirers who anoint him as a rediscovered genius. Intoxicated by the attention—and by the alluring presence of Gloria, the group’s “tragic heroine” (a sinuous, Kurt Weill–crooning Greta Lee)—Saxberger gradually reckons with the authenticity of his newfound poetic circle. This thoughtful, witty second feature from Kent Jones (DIANE), working from a sly and hugely entertaining script by Oscar-nominated screenwriter Samy Burch (MAY DECEMBER, is a wistful yet unromantic look at a lost idea of downtown New York.
