The Aurora Film Society Presents: “After Hours”

After Hours [1985 / Martin Scorsese]
An ordinary office worker named Paul Hackett (Griffin Dunne) strikes up a conversation with a woman in a café. She gives him her number and he follows up with a call and a trip to her apartment. That is the last normal thing that happens to Paul that night. His evening is a rollercoaster ride of mishaps involving a long list of eccentric characters. Bursting with frantic energy and tinged with black humor, “After Hours” is a brilliant neo-noir cult classic, a masterful – and often overlooked – detour in Martin Scorsese’s filmography that gives us a glimpse into the now-vanished world that was the early ‘80s NYC art scene.

The Aurora Film Society
Since 2018, the Aurora Film Society (AFS) has been broadening our community’s collective horizons by screening great movies together. For $70 a year, our subscribers are shown 12 carefully selected & curated movies, works that are historically important & groundbreaking, works that provide a window into far-flung cultures, works that are sometimes overlooked or unavailable to most audiences. The AFS puts a special emphasis on showing the sorts of luminous & idiosyncratic stories from beyond the mainstream that people of the Fox Valley area would normally not have a chance to see in a theatrical setting.

We screen every third Wednesday of the month at The Venue. Doors open at 6:30pm. Program begins at 7pm.
