This Monday Sweat is proud to present an official South Florida screening of award-winning documentary END OF THE LINE.
The movie tackles the dangers of our current unsustainable level of fishing (ie scientists predicting a global end to seafood by 2048). It has been seen by hundreds of thousands worldwide and is accompanied by a campaign promoting the responsible use of our ocean’s resources. Full information, including how to find out if the seafood you eat is sustainable, can be found here on the film’s site.
Watch the trailer below and come out tonight! We’ve got stickers, pins and other goodies to give away as well. No cover, seating at 8, film at 8.30.
Thanks so much to everyone who entered, we got a ton of videos from literally all over the world! We haven’t chosen the winner yet but after the jump are the YouTube names of the submitters with links to their videos. If you entered and don’t see your name there with the correct link, please be in touch asap and we’ll make sure we fix it.

This weekend two celestial groups will cross our paths… Tonight at The Vagabond, Miami’s ASTARI NITE will take the stage in the Main Room. They’re celebrating the release of their new EP “True Romance” – the New Times wrote a great preview piece for the show, read it here and come out!
Then Saturday night at Sweat, bust out the earplugs (or pick up a nice pair at the shop) for a four-band in-store! GREEN SKY headline the night with opening sets by Shroud Eater, Furious Dudes and Lil Daggers. No cover, starts at 8pm. See you this weekend!
This week at Sweat we’ve got two ridiculously great, FREE movie screenings for your viewing pleasure…
This Movie Monday, we’ll be playing 2001 cult comedy classic WET HOT AMERICAN SUMMER! Directed by The State alum David Wain, it featuring several of the cast members, along with hilarious performances by Janeane Garofalo, Chris Meloni and more. It’s the store of the last day of summer camp in the ’80s and anything can and does happen as the campers and counselors look to hook up and make it to the big talent show. Wear your tube socks and come to Sweat at 8pm.
Then on Thursday evening, we’re excited to bring you a screening of super hard-to-find 1997 cult flick NOWHERE by director Gregg Araki! It’s the third part of his “Teenage Apocalypse Trilogy” (after Doom Generation) and features tons of Hollywood notables before they were famous. Also like all Araki films, the soundtrack is amazing. Read more in the New Times and come out! No cover, starts at 8pm.
Here at Sweat we’re happy to be celebrating MLK Day with a special Movie Mondays screening of the acclaimed documentary The Night James Brown Saved Boston!
It tells the story about how James Brown took the stage at the Boston Garden one day after the tragic assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and helped prevent riots in the city. It features actual performance footage and interviews with James’ band, local politicians, concertgoers and more. Hear more about it in this NPR piece.
No cover as always, seating at 8, film at 8.30. See you tonight!
With this weather, tonight’s the perfect night for a big cup of hot chocolate or tea, a comfy couch and some trippy British comedy! Roll over to Sweat tonight for the screening of the 3rd and final season of THE MIGHTY BOOOOSH.
As part of our ongoing film series co-presented by the Ai Miami International University of Art & Design, we present a very special rare screening of Allen Baron’s New York City noir, BLAST OF SILENCE! This low-budget, carefully crafted portrait of a hit man on assignment in Manhattan during Christmastime follows its stripped-down narrative with mechanical precision, yet also with an eye and ear for the oddball details of urban living and imposing beauty of the city.
Read more about it here at the New Times and come out tonight at 8pm – free as always!
This Movie Monday, Sweat is proud to present the Miami debut screening of the ALL TOMORROW’S PARTIES documentary! Since 1999 the UK-based ATP Festival has had amazing curators like Tortoise, The Mars Volta, Portishead, Mogwai, Sonic Youth, Matt Groening, Autechre and many more, assembling bands and fans together at the British seaside for weekends of musical enjoyment in a sponsor-free, intimate environment.
If the above band list and the free admission doesn’t sway you, we don’t know what will! Seating starts at 8pm Monday, film rolls at 8.30. See you then!
