March is objectively the worst month in New York City for several reasons, mostly involving weather. But theres one bright spot for brooding New Yorkers this month, and thats The Metrographs latest film series, The Singularity.

The Singularity is a mini sci-fi film festival of sorts, running from March 17th to April 3rd. The series will feature an impressive range of films: classics like 2001: A Space Odyssey and Blade Runner, campier movies like RoboCop and The Terminator, and art house features like Wong Kar-Wais 2046 and Lynn Hershman-Leesons Teknolust.

Beginning on March 24th, the theater will also run a one-week revival of Mamoru Oshiis 1995 film Ghost in the Shell in advance of the Scarlett Johansson remake out the following week.

The theater hasnt yet announced times for The Singularity screenings, but the entire lineup is here.
