A high school clique comprised of three popular girls — Courtney, Julie, and Marcie — accidentally kill their friend Liz during a birthday prank involving a jawbreaker candy. In a desperate attempt to cover up the incident, the girls concoct a series of lies, but their plot begins to unravel when the socially awkward Fern Mayo stumbles upon their secret and is transformed into the stylish and confident Vylette. As the cover-up becomes increasingly complicated, the film explores themes of deception, power, and high school hierarchy. This film plays as a part of Digital Gym Cinema's Staff Pick series.

On a drunken walk home, bohemian drug-dealer Kumi (Kumiko Ota) discovers an abandoned building on the outskirts of Tokyo. Attracted by the vast and untapped space rampant with luxuriant vegetation, she promptly sells all of her belongings and retreats from the world. She carves an island out of the concrete squat and wiles her days away growing cabbage and expressing herself in any way she pleases. Following his gonzo hachimiri (8mm) debut "Saint Terrorism" (1980) and the memorable "Carnival in the Night" (1981), Masashi Yamamoto offers his defining punk statement. Winner of a Special Mention at the 1987 Locarno International Film Festival, Robinson’s Garden is a rare, radical vision of a marginal, multicultural Tokyo. Think Punk Rock rather than City Pop (the soundtrack features Jagatara, Hamza El Din, and Yoichiro Yoshikawa), this film offers a stark contrast to the sights of financial prosperity brought forth by the films of the Economic Bubble era. Lensed by Tom DiCillo ("Living In Oblivion," "Johnny Suede"), it instead shares much in common with the No Wave films the cinematographer pioneered alongside Jim Jarmusch ("Stranger Than Paradise"). An unsung, anticapitalist masterwork. This film plays as a part of Digital Gym Cinema's Staff Pick series. ROBINSON'S GARDEN has been selected by the cinema's Exhibitions & Marketing Coordinator, Laurie Piña. Digital Gym Cinema on Facebook / Instagram

Presented as part of AMONG FRIENDS – UNTER FREUNDEN, a campaign of the Goethe-Institut USA to celebrate and strengthen transatlantic friendship. In the haunting new film from esteemed German director Christian Petzold (Transit, NYFF56), his regular star Paula Beer plays Laura, a pianist from Berlin who finds herself in a transitory state. After surviving a violent car crash that kills her boyfriend, Laura is immediately taken in by Betty (Barbara Auer), a mysterious middle-aged woman who lives alone in an isolated house in the countryside. Strangers to one another, the two women build a quiet, respectful life together, though the reemergence of Betty’s estranged husband and son sheds light on the tragic past that explains the murky present. The pleasurable enigma of "Miroirs No. 3," named for a Ravel piano suite, returns Petzold to the metaphysical ambiguity of earlier films like "Yella" (2007) and the themes of doubling in his cherished "Phoenix" (2014), yet with a distinctive ethereality all its own: It’s an economical and beautifully crafted work about the mystery of human interaction. More showtimes TBA. Digital Gym Cinema on Facebook / Instagram

In the tradition of "American Pie," "The Lord of the Rings," and "Wet Hot American Summer" comes a new instalment in a beloved IP franchise: "The Napa Boys" are back… and for the first time, in this anarchic alt-comedy spoof. Miles Jr. (Armen Weitzman) and Jack Jr.(Nick Corirossi) are back in their most hotly anticipated adventure yet. Years have passed since Jack Jr. slept with the MILFonator and Death claimed the lives of virgin Miles Jr.’s wife and daughter. But when a still-horny-as-heck Jack Jr. shows up in possession of the fabled Sommelier’s amulet, you better believe that (for the first time ever) a new Napa Boys™ adventure is afoot. You can expect the return of fan-favourites like Kevin (Nelson Franklin) and Mitch of Mitch’s Winery (Mike Mitchell), but get ready to meet some new Napa brethren when a resolute reporter named Puck (Sarah Ramos) stows away in the Napa Boy Wine Wagon™ while the gang is en route to pick up Stifler’s brother (Jamar Neighbors). One thing is for sure: The Napa Boys are all that and a bottle of wine — and it’s not a Merlot. Or is it? Anarchically spoofing the motifs and platitudes of Hollywood franchise filmmaking (and one very specific 2004 dramedy) with a surgical specificity akin to cult comedies like "Wet Hot American Summer" and "Freddy Got Fingered," co-creators and co-stars Corirossi and Weitzman have assembled a winery’s row of hilarious alt-comedians who collectively distill and deliver some of the smartest dumb jokes in recent memory. Further featuring David Wain, Riki Lindhome, Ray Wise, Chloe Cherry, Vanessa Chester, and Paul Rust as the nefarious Squirm among dozens of other seasoned collaborators who’ve either performed, written or produced for comic luminaries such Sacha Baron Cohen, Eric André, and Ben Stiller, "The Napa Boys" is your favourite comedian’s new favourite comedy.
