 ctral Cinema returns to the Gap Theatre to spread some holiday misery with
  an early neo-noir as bleak and black-hearted as the lump of coal in your 
 stocking on Christmas morning. This holiday season\, we proudly present Al
 len Baron's nihilistic\, no-budget knockout\, BLAST OF SILENCE. Starring i
 ts own writer-director in the lead role\, BLAST OF SILENCE follows Frankie
  Bono (Allen Baron)\, a hitman for the Cleveland Mafia\, who returns to hi
 s hometown of New York City during Christmastime to complete a risky contr
 act killing. Needing to bide his time before he makes a move\, Frankie wan
 ders the streets of New York\, where he runs into an old friend and must c
 ontend with a past he'd rather forget. Working on a shoestring budget with
  minimal resources\, Baron turned his limitations to exquisite advantage. 
 With stark black-and-white photography\, energetic editing\, and a jazz sc
 ore by Meyer Kupferman\, he crafts a rough-hewn yet compelling portrait of
  the grime\, decay\, and despair festering beneath New York's holiday bust
 le. The scenes of Baron skulking through Rockefeller Plaza\, with his moro
 se hitman's demeanor contrasted starkly with the cherubic tones of a child
 ren's choir singing carols\, suggest on-the-fly documentary interpolations
  that present a raw portrait of a seedy\, unvarnished New York. But it's t
 he bile-filled second-person narration\, menacing and corrosive\, that imm
 erses us in Frank's headspace of hatred and abjection\, solidifying BLAST 
 OF SILENCE as a powerful and essential portrait of alienation and a classi
 c of existentialist genre cinema. Tickets: per person. Showtime: 7:30pm. D
 oors open 30 minutes before showtime. Tickets are available at thegaptheat
 re.com and at the door. ABOUT SPECTRAL CINEMA: Spectral Cinema is a collab
 oration between programmers Dan Santelli and Adrianna Gober."\,"offers":[{
