Almost Midnight Saturday ■ Mixed Shorts Program
Almost Midnight is where NYCFF lets things get weird — in the best way. Cult classics, outrageous comedies, and anything-goes energy take over once the lights go down. It’s Rocky Horror vibes without the choreography, powered by communal laughter and the understanding that after midnight, rules stop applying. The crowd is loud, the jokes hit harder, and going to bed on time is not part of the plan.
