Join the nationwide celebration of Jonathan Demme on July 19, when theaters all over the country are showing Stop Making Sense. In honor of our home town filmmaker, Nyack will show this film for free in the Artopee Way Drive-In (normally known as the Artopee Way Municipal Parking Lot).
Stop Making Sense showcases the Talking Heads just after they achieved mainstream success with the album Speaking in Tongues and the single “Burning Down the House.” USA, 1984, 100 minutes, unrated
Thank you to the Village of Nyack for sponsoring this free screening.
