Hands Up Night
Koolhoven & Simons: Hands Up Night
Sidney Lumet stimulated Al Pacino to great heights as the tragic bank robber in Dog Day Afternoon. An evening about bank robberies to celebrate the classic’s 50th anniversary, preceded by excerpts from Bonnie and Clyde, The Sting and Point Break.
One searing hot day in August 1972, the endearingly clumsy Sonny Wortzik (Al Pacino) robs a bank in Brooklyn to pay for his lover’s gender re-assignment surgery. The failed bank job turns into a hostage situation and an unintended media circus with Wortzik’s private life revealed to the whole world.

Koolhoven & Simons
Every month, Koolhoven and Simons will be scrutinizing the genre film, presenting films within pretty forthright themes that have never before been screened at Eye. Expect evenings on Trucker, Grindhouse or Revenge of Nature films. A tribute to rarely screened trailers and forgotten classics, where possible in 35mm, using films from Eye’s collection.
