FUN CITY EDITIONS
January 7-9 at the Trylon
Borrowing the ironic moniker applied to the New York City of the 1970s, the Fun City Editions label was recently started by longtime Trylon friend Jonathan Hertzberg to distribute new restorations of underappreciated films. We are excited to present two of their latest releases. Hertzberg will be present for all screenings.
