Planet Midnight seeks to be a destination for the genre community in NYC. As smaller community spaces, video stores, record stores, and comic book shops are dwindling, institutions like the IFC Center and Forbidden Planet continue to plant deep roots in the community and nurture counter-cultural engagement in the city on a personal level.
Planet Midnight screenings are free-of-charge for IFC Midnight newsletter subscribers and includes giveaways, special guest appearances, and complimentary popcorn. To receive updates and RSVP to upcoming screenings, please follow this link.
