    Story Ave (2023)

    Bronx native Aristotle Torres was semi-famous during the Aughts for directing over 70 music videos (J. Cole, Nas, 2 Chainz, Ludacris) and short films. Now he is releasing his first feature-length film. Story Ave began as a short in 2017, but after screenings at regional film festivals across the country, Torres took the project long-form with backing from Sundance Labs. It tells the story of Kadir, a young man who, in an attempt to prove his manhood, tries to stick up subway conductor Luis at the Story Ave. station in the Bronx. Monday’s screening is free for AFS members. – Brant Bingamon

    Touch Girl Apple Blossom (vinyl release), A Mourning in Heaven, Proun, Kai Wilde

    Celebrating a 7” vinyl release to follow up last year’s EP, Touch Girl Apple Blossom befits Hotel Vegas with hair-twirling jangle-pop that bounces guitar twinkle around bandleader Olivia Garner’s sugary vocal drone. Dreamy rockers Proun feed the lineup’s unofficial twee narrative, while Houston act A Mourning in Heaven flicks crushing, industrial slowcore into the mix. Teethe player Kai Wilde continues to darken the bill with his ambient weave of acoustic and electric flair. A perfect yin-yang of saccharine and bitter. – Laiken Neumann
    Wed., Feb. 7, 10pm. $10 cover (21+).
