Noah Baumbach<\/a> has never seen “Withnail and I.” Kenneth Lonergan<\/a> has always wanted to see “Yi Yi.” Sandra Bernhard hasn’t had the chance to catch “Lola.” As part of New York City’s Quad Cinema<\/a>’s newly announced “First Encounters” screening series, they (and more creative types) are going to finally remedy\u00a0that — and they’d like you to join them.<\/p>\n

The newly revamped four-screen theater — set to reopen in less than in a month — has announced the first lineup of their newest series, which sees\u00a0notable New Yorkers (helped by programmers Christopher Wells and Gavin Smith) picking a film they’ve never seen (but have always wanted to) to show on the big screen, complete with a post-showing Q&A with the rest of audience.<\/p>\n

Check out the first official\u00a0lineup for First Encounters below, with descriptions and other information provided by Quad Cinema.<\/p>\n

“Lola”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

“Pather Panchali,”\u00a0Satyajit Ray, 1955, India, 125m, DCP
\nThis tender portrait of a Bengali family \u2014 whose struggles with poverty are observed with the same simplicity and poetic lyricism as the quotidian pleasures of village life \u2014 introduced the world to young Apu, became a landmark of social realism, and an enduring classic of world cinema.\u00a0In Bengali with English subtitles.<\/em>

“Withnail and I,”\u00a0Bruce Robinson, 1988, UK, 107m,\u00a035mm
\nThis \u201860s rites of passage memoir chronicles the dissolute misadventures of unemployed actor Marwood (Paul McGann) and outrageous fellow thesp and quasi-mentor Withnail (Richard E. Grant). Detailing their shambolic, alcohol-fueled stay at a ramshackle Lake District cottage owned by portly homosexual Uncle Monty (Richard Griffiths), Robinson\u2019s film richly deserves its cult reputation, and made Grant\u2019s career.

A must-see for Ziggy fans.
