The Museum of Modern Art keeps its Yuen Woo-ping series running this weekend, screening two Once Upon a Time in China films directed by Tsui Hark, Wong Kar-wai's Hong Kong cut of The Grandmaster, and a print of Kung Fu Hustle. MoMA also launches Long Live the Underground, a new series beginning alongside the martial-arts program.

At Film Forum, Douglas Keeve's Unzipped opens in a 4K restoration, while Stanley Donen's Funny Face screens on Sunday.

The Paris Theater doubles down on scale with its Big & Loud series. Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life screens on 35mm, joined by The Sound of Music and 2001: A Space Odyssey, the latter on 70mm.

BAM turns its attention to the George W. Bush years. A series on Bush-era cinema includes prints of Steven Spielberg's War of the Worlds, Brian De Palma's Redacted, and Spike Lee's 25th Hour.

Roxy Cinema continues a retrospective titled 2006 Movies You Must See Before You Die. Martin Scorsese's The Departed screens on a 35mm print on Saturday, Paul Haggis's Crash shows on Friday, and Catherine Breillat's Fat Girl closes the weekend on Sunday.

Anthology Film Archives has begun a series devoted to Toney W. Merritt.

In Astoria, the Museum of the Moving Image screens David Cronenberg's Dead Ringers on Friday and Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds on Saturday.

IFC Center offers 9 to 5 daily, with late shows of Dog Day Afternoon, the animated Angel's Egg, and Paris Is Burning.

Nitehawk Prospect Park pairs Ernest R. Dickerson's Juice with a print of Forbidden Planet on Saturday and Sunday.

Metrograph carries the deepest 35mm slate in the city. The Wedding Banquet, The Warriors, Time and Tide, Paprika, The Little Mermaid, Alien: Resurrection, The Ninth Gate, and Seven all show on film. Two programs start — Sakamoto on Screen and a Salomé Lamas retrospective — while five series continue: Histories of Home, A Cyberpunk Canon, Classical Cinema, Darius Khondji, and Tsui Hark.

With Metrograph's Tsui Hark series running concurrent to MoMA's Yuen Woo-ping tribute, Hong Kong cinema dominates the weekend's repertory calendar — a rare chance to trace two masters of the form across two boroughs.
