New York Film Festival, Thriving At 62 Thanks To Young Moviegoers, Offers Hope To Unsettled Industry
NYFF Artistic Director Denis Lim and Film At Lincoln Center's deputy director Matt Bolish on the festival's success at a complex time for the entertainment industry.
NYFF’s series of free talks includes RaMell Ross in conversation with Barry Jenkins, and New Asian Auteurs with Neo Sora, Trương Minh Quý ( Việt and Nam), and Yeo Siew Hua ( Stranger Eyes). The fest’s three world premieres include two documentaries, My Undesirable Friends – The Last Air In Moscow by Julia Loktev and Robinson Devor’s Suburban Fury; and Jem Cohen’s hybrid feature Little, Big, And Far. With the industry disrupted by Covid, streaming and strikes, Lim said, “I feel like we’ve been living through like one sea change after another.” Nevertheless, “Our job is to show that good, important films still get made, regardless and filmmakers always find a way.”
