Films on Film: Gangs of New York - 35mm Presentation

About this event

Films on Film presents Martin Scorsese's 1952-set drama in 35mm format, offering audiences an opportunity to experience the film as originally intended. Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Amsterdam Vallon, a young Irish immigrant who returns to New York's Five Points neighbourhood following his release from prison. Driven by a personal vendetta, he seeks to confront William Cutting, a formidable anti-immigrant gang leader responsible for his father's death. To achieve his goal, Vallon must navigate the dangerous underworld by infiltrating Cutting's organisation, blending into a world of violence and corruption.

This special presentation combines historical storytelling with the technical restoration of classic cinema, making it an event for both film enthusiasts and those interested in American history.
