This week we're excited to present a conversation with director Todd Haynes. Haynes's new film, May December, will make its North American premiere as the Opening Night selection of the 61st New York Film Festival on September 29th. In this archival conversation with Haynes, the director discusses his mid-90s classic, Safe, starring his May December and Far From Heaven leading actress, Julianne Moore. While Haynes shot Safe in 1994, he set it at the height of the AIDS epidemic seven years earlier. The unnamed disease at the center of this indelible, shuddering movie—widely considered one of Haynes's masterpieces—has taken on new, unexpected meanings since the film's release, and yet much of what makes Safe revelatory to watch is the uncanny precision of its setting, look, and tone. Carol (Julianne Moore), whose mysterious breakdown from perfect housewife to cloistered invalid drives the movie's plot, is a character couldn't live anywhere but suburban L.A. in the late '80s—a landscape Haynes captures in a strange, piercing, hyperreal light. Jonathan Rosenbaum called Safe “the most provocative American art film of the year” in 1995. It's hard to imagine any movie topping it were it released now. This conversation was moderated by NYFF Artistic Director, Dennis Lim.

If you've been following the podcast and the Film Comment Letter, you'll know that for the last two weeks, we've been reporting from the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Before the festival ended last Sunday, Devika Girish, Co-Deputy Editor of FC, gathered Justin Chang, Dennis Lim, and Rachel Rosen—all of whom serve on the selection committee of the New York Film Festival—for a look back at the Cannes that was. As experienced festival veterans, the three reflected on the trends of this year's festival, including the preponderance of long films, experiments with historical representation, and hybrids of fiction and documentary. They also discussed some of the festival's late premieres, including films by Catherine Breillat and Hong Sangsoo. We hope you enjoy the conversation—and keep your eyes on filmcomment.com for more Cannes wrap coverage, coming later this week: https://www.filmcomment.com/blog/category/festivals/cannes/cannes-2023/

Cannes 2023 is here—and as news of standing ovations and walkouts, throwaway raves and pans, spit takes and hot takes flood the feed, we'll be reporting on all the cinematic goings-on, with our on-the-Croisette crew of Film Comment contributors ready to cut through the noise with a series of thoughtful dispatches, interviews, and podcasts. On today's episode, FC co-deputy editor Devika Girish is joined by Dennis Lim, Artistic Director of the New York Film Festival, for a special joint interview with Todd Haynes, whose new film, May December, is one of the unanimous favorites of this year's lineup. The film was inspired by one of the great scandals of the 1990s: Julianne Moore plays Gracie, a woman who, twenty years ago, was convicted of having an affair with a 13-year-old, a lover (played by Charles Melton) with whom she now lives a cozy married life. Natalie Portman plays an actress who arrives at Gracie's home to do research for a movie based on the affair and starts probing into the couple's lives, slowly pulling down bother both their and her own façades. Haynes turns the tabloid-fodder source of the script into a remarkably witty, dark, and intelligent meditation on the ways in which we construct and consume identity. Devika and Dennis talked to Haynes about his references for the movie, his thoughts on the term camp, why he loves zooms, and much more.

Colorization looks at the history of Hollywood from the perspective of the African American community, from protests over the showing of the racist silent film, “Birth of a Nation,” to the first great Black director, Oscar Micheaux, through the forties and the rise of black actors such as Sidney Poitier, Harry Belafonte and Dorothy Dandridge, to so-called Blaxploitation films and up to the present, all the while putting the films in context of the larger society and race in America. In the interview, he discusses the origins of the book, the careers of some of the Black pioneers in Hollywood film, and the way television and streaming has changed the race equation in our culture.

In this episode, we're speaking with pioneering filmmaker Nina Menkes, who's one of the first women to present a feature film at Sundance and the filmmaker behind documentary BRAINWASHED: Sex-Camera-Power, which premiered at Sundance 2022 and has since screened at other prominent festivals worldwide. BRAINWASHED was released theatrically in October 2022 by Kino Lorber.   Considered a cinematic feminist pioneer and one of America's foremost independent filmmakers, Nina has shown widely in major international film festivals including multiple premieres at Sundance, Cannes, the Berlinale and Toronto.   Nina has an MFA with high honors from the UCLA Film School (1989). She's taught film directing at the USC School of Cinematic Arts, at the Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) and is currently a faculty member at California Institute of the Arts. She is a directing member of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences (AMPAS).   Nina synthesizes inner-dream worlds with harsh, outer realities. She was called “brilliant, one of the most provocative artists in film today” by the Los Angeles Times, and her body of work was described as “controversial, intense and visually stunning” by Sight and Sound. Nina has referred to herself as a witch; and Dennis Lim, writing in The New York Times, called her a “cinematic sorceress.”   

We welcomed director Chris Smith and producers Robert Downey Jr., Susan Downey, and Kevin Ford to present and discuss "Sr.", a Spotlight selection of this year's festival, with NYFF Artistic Director, Dennis Lim. Rarely do films about artists allow the kind of poignant intimacy seen in this tender yet fittingly irreverent portrait of the life and career of Robert Downey Sr., the fearless, visionary American director who set the standard for counterculture comedy in the sixties and seventies. An inspired collaboration between celebrated documentarian Chris Smith (American Movie); the subject's son, Robert Downey Jr.; and the man himself, who's occasionally shown working on his own version of the movie we're watching, “Sr.” functions both as an elegy for the rule-flouting underground icon, who passed away at age 85 in July 2021, and as a testament to his tireless creative spirit. Capturing its subjects' refreshing candor about aging, past struggles with addiction, and the ups and downs of working in Hollywood, Smith's film is an emotional depiction of a father-son bond that remained strong, pragmatic, and deeply loving to the end. A Netflix release. All NYFF60 Documentaries are presented by HBO.

We welcomed director Charlotte Wells and actress Frankie Corio to NYFF60 to present and discuss Aftersun, a Main Slate selection of this year's festival, moderated by NYFF Artistic Director, Dennis Lim. In one of the most assured and spellbinding feature debuts in years, Scottish director Charlotte Wells has fashioned a textured memory piece inspired by her relationship with her dad, taking place over the course of a brooding weekend at a coastal resort in Turkey. The charismatic Paul Mescal and naturalistic newcomer Francesca Corio fully inhabit Calum and Sophie, a divorced father and his daughter often mistaken for brother and sister, who share a close and loving bond that creates an entire world unto itself. Wells employs an unusual and gorgeous aesthetic that brings us into the interior space of this parent and child, even as she judiciously withholds details, an approach that finally grants the film a singular emotional wallop. Aftersun reimagines the coming-of-age narrative as a poignant, ultimately ungraspable chimera, informed by the present as much as the past. Winner of the French Touch Prize of the Jury at this year's Cannes Festival. An A24 release. Aftersun opens at Film at Lincoln Center on Friday, October 21st. Tickets are now on sale.

This week we welcomed director Kelly Reichardt and actress Hong Chau to NYFF60 to present and discuss Showing Up, a Main Slate selection of this year's festival, moderated by NYFF Artistic Director, Dennis Lim. Continuing one of the richest collaborations in modern American cinema, director Kelly Reichardt (Certain Women) reunites with star Michelle Williams for this marvelously particularized portrait of a sculptor's daily work and frustrations in an artists' enclave in Portland. Lizzy (Williams) struggles to put the finishing touches on her latest pieces for a gallery show, all the while juggling admin work at the local art school; dealing with the neglect of her well-meaning landlord (a funny and nuanced Hong Chau), who also happens to be a rising-star conceptual artist; and tending to the emotional well being of her increasingly fragmented family. Christopher Blauvelt's patient camerawork, Reichardt's precise cutting, and Williams's physically transformative performance coalesce to create something remarkable in Showing Up, a delicately humorous drama of the experience of being a creative person that avoids all clichés that plague films about artists. An A24 release. Tickets to the 60th New York Film Festival are moving fast! Get up-to-date information on all available tickets on a daily basis at filmlinc.org/tix

This week we welcomed writer/director Todd Field, cast members Cate Blanchett, Nina Hoss, and Sophie Kauer, and composer Hildur Guonadóttir to the press conference for TÁR, moderated by NYFF Artistic Director, Dennis Lim. The charisma and emotional precision of Cate Blanchett are put to astounding use in this deft showcase for the actor's musical artistry, a stinging portrait of a world-famous orchestra conductor's gradual unraveling that is the first film in sixteen years from director Todd Field (In the Bedroom, Little Children).

This weekend we welcomed writer/director Ruben Östlund and cast members Dolly de Leon and Zlatko Burić to NYFF60 to present and discuss Triangle of Sadness, a Main Slate selection of this year's festival.  Cinematic mischief maker Östlund liberally applies his customary playfulness to the wide canvas of his wildly ambitious, frequently hilarious latest film, which won the Swedish director his second Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Kicking off as a satirical romance, following the bickering, money-soured relationship between two hot young models (Harris Dickinson and Charlbi Dean), the three-part film escalates into increasing absurdity after they are invited on a luxury cruise, where they rub elbows with the super-rich, as well as a disheveled and disillusioned, Marx-spouting sea captain (Woody Harrelson). To tell more would ruin the Buñuelian twists of this poison-dipped farce on class and economic disparity, which doesn't skewer contemporary culture so much as dunk it in raw sewage. Listen below as they discuss Triangle of Sadness, how the film shifted after working with collaborators, capturing beauty as a currency, and more with Dennis Lim.

The 60th edition of the New York Film Festival officially kicked off on September 30, 2022 with our Opening Night selection: the North American premiere of Noah Baumbach's White Noise, presented by Campari. At the film's press conference, we welcomed Noah Baumbach and select cast members Greta Gerwig, Raffey Cassidy, May Nivola, and Sam Nivola, composer Danny Elfman, and songwriter James Murphy in conversation with NYFF's Artistic Director, Dennis Lim. Their wide-ranging discussion covers adapting the "unfilmable" Don DeLillo novel, the story's frightening similarities to our current pandemic, working with a very large cast, and shooting in Anamorphic widescreen. White Noise opens in theaters on November 25th and will premiere on Netflix December 30th.

With Cannes 2022 winding to a close, the last stretch has proved especially rich with standouts. On today's podcast, FC Co-Deputy Editor Devika Girish sat down with Dennis Lim (artistic director of the New York Film Festival), Jean-Michel Frodon (critic and former editor in chief of Cahiers du Cinéma), and Antoine Thirion (curator and critic) to discuss the festival that was. They talk about Kelly Reichardt's Showing Up, Albert Serra's Pacifiction, Hirokazu Kore-eda's Broker, Annie Ernaux's The Super 8 Years, and much more.

With Cannes 2022 beginning to wind down, the last stretch has proved especially rich with standouts. One of these eleventh-hour highlights is Albert Serra's latest feature, Pacifiction. An epic yet elliptical political thriller, the film follows a high commissioner in French Polynesia, played by Benoît Magimel, as he snakes his way through a dense, sensorially overwhelming landscape, schmoozing with locals, activists, and other politicians, while never quite revealing his true colors. After the film's premiere at Cannes yesterday, Dennis Lim, the artistic director of the New York Film Festival, sat down with Serra for a special Film Comment Podcast interview.

Everything you always wanted to know about Hong Sangsoo… but were afraid to ask! To celebrate Film at Lincoln Center's two-part retrospective of the films of Hong, we hosted a special live conversation with NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim about the playful, profound, and soju-soaked filmography of one of world cinema's most influential and ingenious artists.  Dennis, the author of a forthcoming monograph on Hong's Tale of Cinema from Fireflies Press, had his expertise put to the test with a series of preselected questions from Film Comment contributors about the South Korean auteur's elliptical, endlessly generative body of work. And of course, in keeping with the spirit of the films, drinks were be served before and during the conversation.

Despite its clear thematic and philosophical connections to the other film in this pairing, Krzysztof Kieślowski's BLIND CHANCE, Daniel Schienert and Daniel Kwan's new EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE is a unique experience, a bold, humanistic film full of big messages and also butt jokes. It's a film that's built to surprise and delight on first viewing, but what does it offer in terms of rewatch value? That's one of the things we debate in our discussion of the Daniels' film, before bringing Kieślowski's back into the picture to talk through some of those thematic and philosophical connections. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about BLIND CHANCE, EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net.

This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we're featuring a preview of the ninth Art of the Real, our annual festival highlighting the world's most vital and innovative voices in nonfiction and hybrid filmmaking, with programmers Dennis Lim, Rachael Rakes, Dan Sullivan, and Almudena Escobar López. Art of the Real is now in full swing and playing through April 7! Get tickets at filmlinc.org/aotr. We're also featuring a Q&A from a recent patron event with director Eva Husson and star Odessa Young on their most recent film, Mothering Sunday. On a warm spring day in 1924, house maid and foundling Jane Fairchild, played by Odessa Young, finds herself alone on Mother's Day. Her employers, Mr. and Mrs. Niven (Colin Firth and Olivia Colman), are out and she has the rare chance to spend quality time with her secret lover. Paul (Josh O'Connor) is the boy from the manor house near by, Jane's long-term love despite the fact that he's engaged to be married to another woman, a childhood friend and daughter of his parents' friends. But events that neither can foresee will change the course of Jane's life forever. Mothering Sunday  is now streaming and playing in theaters.

From his early horror movies, including Scanners, Videodrome, Rabid, and The Fly—with their exploding heads, mutating sex organs, rampaging parasites, and scientists turning into insects—to his inventive adaptations of books by William Burroughs (Naked Lunch), Don DeLillo (Cosmopolis), and Bruce Wagner (Maps to the Stars), Canadian director David Cronenberg (b. 1943) has consistently dramatized the struggle between the aspirations of the mind and the messy realities of the flesh. “I think of human beings as a strange mixture of the physical and the non-physical, and both of these things have their say at every moment we're alive,” says Cronenberg. “My films are some kind of strange metaphysical passion play.” Moving deftly between genre and arthouse filmmaking and between original screenplays and literary adaptations, Cronenberg's work is thematically consistent and marked by a rigorous intelligence, a keen sense of humor, and a fearless engagement with the nature of human existence. He has been exploring the most primal themes since the beginning of his career and continues to probe them with growing maturity and depth. Cronenberg's work has drawn the interest of some of the most intelligent contemporary film critics, and the fifteen interviews in this volume feature remarkably in-depth and insightful conversations with such acclaimed writers as Amy Taubin, Gary Indiana, David Breskin, Dennis Lim, Richard Porton, Gavin Smith, and more.  The pieces in David Schwartz, David Cronenberg: Interviews (UP of Mississippi, 2021) reveal Cronenberg to be one of the most articulate and deeply philosophical directors now working, and they comprise an essential companion to an endlessly provocative and thoughtful body of work. Nathan Abrams is a professor of film at Bangor University in Wales. His most recent work is on film director Stanley Kubrick.

For Cineversary podcast episode #39, host Erik Martin tackles a tantalizing but tricky cinematic text, David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, which celebrates a 20th anniversary this year. Joining Erik this month are two terrific guests: Dennis Lim, director of programming at the Film Society of Lincoln Center and author of the book David Lynch: The Man From Another Place; and Chris Rodley, a UK-based filmmaker and editor of the book Lynch on Lynch. Erik, Dennis, and Chris claim a front-row seat at Club Silencio as they attempt to make sense of the movie and examine why Mulholland Drive is worth celebrating all these years later, its cultural impact and legacy, what we can learn from the movie in 2021, and more.

This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we're revisiting a directors dialogue from the 55th New York Film Festival with Hong Sangsoo in anticipation of the filmmaker's latest feature, The Woman Who Ran, opening in our theaters. Moderated by Dennis Lim, Director of Programming for Film at Lincoln Center and the New York Film Festival. Divided into three casually threaded yet distinct sections, Hong Sangsoo's latest delight follows Gamhee—played by the director's regular collaborator Kim Minhee—as she travels without her husband for the first time in years, reconnecting with a succession of friends, on purpose and by chance. The Woman Who Ran is now playing in our theaters. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/womanwhoran

This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we're presenting a conversation with Steve McQueen, the director of Small Axe, and Dennis Lim, Director of Programming for Film at Lincoln Center and the New York Film Festival. Among the most remarkable achievements in recent world cinema, Steve McQueen's anthology Small Axe consists of five films that stirringly chronicle the experiences of London's West Indian immigrant community across a tumultuous period from the 1960s through the 1980s. Each film is a distinct and singular work in its own right; taken together, they form a powerful, complex, immersive, and endlessly rich historical portrait of oppression, resistance, and survival, glimpsed through the prism of the post-colonial experience. Join Film at Lincoln Center to celebrate McQueen's accomplishment with a series of screenings of all five films within Small Axe, including a special two-week run of Lovers Rock, the Opening Night Film at the 58th New York Film Festival. See Steve McQueen's Small Axe, along with over 30 other NYFF58 selections, at Film at Lincoln Center's theaters during Big Screen Summer. All screenings of Alex Wheatle and Education are free to the general public! Reserve your tickets on our website while they're still available. Get tickets at filmlinc.org/nyff58redux

Where the unsettling illness metaphor at the center of Todd Haynes’ 1995 film SAFE tendrils out in a manner that defies easy resolution, Carlo Mirabella-Davis’ newly released debut SWALLOW tracks a similarly metaphorical affliction toward a more finite ending point. But within those two very different arcs, the two films explore complementary ideas about isolation, gender roles and archetypes, and societal expectations about sickness and recovery, all of which we get into following an in-depth discussion of SWALLOW’s successes and failures as both film and metaphor.

We continue our shelter-in-place film series with a pair of films featuring magazine-perfect housewife archetypes struck by mysterious illnesses that are inextricably linked to their oppressive environments: Todd Haynes’ 1995 feature SAFE and Carlo Mirabella-Davis’ debut film SWALLOW. In this half we dig into the many shifting metaphors at play in SAFE, how they reflect both the film’s era and our current moment, and how they’re all held together by Julianne Moore’s remarkable central performance. And what to make of that ending? Is there any sense of optimism or closure to be drawn from Haynes’ film? All that, plus some feedback that uses specific movies as jumping-off points for some big, sprawling questions about film.

For our final regular episode of the podcast (yep, the whole thing) we finally come to one of the essential films of the mindfuck movie discussion, David Lynch's breakthrough as a popular artist, 1986's BLUE VELVET. Starring Kyle MacLachlan, Isabella Rossellini, Laura Dern, and of course Dennis Hopper, it was highly controversial upon release, and soon became the favorite film of academics and critical theorists—not to mention the late David Foster Wallace—and today stands as a film classic. But how challenging is it 33 years later? What are we to make of the multi-layered symbolism, the sexual violence, how much was borrowed into Twin Peaks, Lynch's Reaganism, its 50-plus minutes of deleted scenes, and its place in David Lynch's filmography? For the last time, your hosts Bill and Renan take on one film and see where it takes them. Then in two weeks, we'll return for our grand finale, a recap / retrospective of the entire podcast project.

Welcome back for day 6 of our podcast from Cannes. We're kicking the week off with guests Dennis Lim, director of programming at Film at Lincoln Center, and Film Comment contributor Jonathan Romney. They join FC Editor-in-Chief Nicolas Rapold for a discussion of three Cannes sensations: Corneliu Porumboiu's dream-like The Whistlers, Albert Serra's “radical,” La Liberté, and Robert Eggers's “intensely physical” The Lighthouse.

At long last we get around to a movie that was on our mind when we started this podcast: FIGHT CLUB, the 1999 David Fincher film  starring Edward Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter, based on the 1996 Chuck Palahniuk novel of the same name. If you don't like politics with your movies, then today's show isn't for you, because Fight Club was born in controversy, released to Boomer acrimony, and then, once it attained cult status, attracted the unwanted—but not altogether surprising—approval of some of the most loathsome ideologues of the 21st century.

At long last we get around to a movie that was on our mind when we started this podcast: FIGHT CLUB, the 1999 David Fincher film  starring Edward Norton, Brad Pitt and Helena Bonham Carter, based on the 1996 Chuck Palahniuk novel of the same name. If you don't like politics with your movies, then today's show isn't for you, because Fight Club was born in controversy, released to Boomer acrimony, and then, once it attained cult status, attracted the unwanted—but not altogether surprising—approval of some of the most loathsome ideologues of the 21st century.

Film at Lincoln Center (formerly the Film Society of Lincoln Center) is celebrating 50 years! Director of Editorial and Creative Strategy Michael Koresky joins Executive Director Lesli Klainberg and Deputy Director Eugene Hernandez to discuss the organization's history. Then you'll hear from some of the organization's key figures like Dennis Lim, Richard Peña, and others. And finally, we're proud to share highlights from our 50th anniversary gala featuring Tilda Swinton, John Waters, Dee Rees, and Martin Scorsese. This podcast is brought to you by Film at Lincoln Center. Film Lives Here. www.filmlinc.org

With The Return long concluded and the once-shiny Blu-Ray sets gathering dust, The Lodgers must come to an end. Opting to try and take things out with a bang, Kate and Simon are joined by not one but two special guests: Dennis Lim, author of David Lynch: The Man From Another Place, and Tom McCarthy, big-deal novelist (Remainder, Satin Island, C) and cultural critic. It's a wide-ranging conversation we're pretty sure longtime fans will savor. Special sonic contributions and Lynchian drones courtesy of Matthew Chiang, Jonathan Kennedy, and Olivier Creurer!

In honor of the Film Society of Lincoln Center's retrospective of Lucrecia Martel's work and theatrical run of Zama, we re-present this episode analyzing the film. Premiered in Venice and screened in last year's New York Film Festival, Zama marks not only the long-awaited return of Lucrecia Martel, but also her first literary adaptation. Martel expanded on the first-person fever dream of the original 1956 novel by Antonio di Benedetto, whose fans included Roberto Bolaño and Julio Cortázar. This week's episode of The Film Comment Podcast ruminates on Zama's novelistic origins with the help of literary translator and CUNY professor Esther Allen, who produced the first English translation of Zama in 2016, for which she won the 2017 National Translation Award in Prose. Allen is joined by Dennis Lim, Director of Programming at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, and Violet Lucca, FC Digital Producer and podcast host, to discuss the subconscious presences Martel might imply beyond the edges of her frames.

Valeska Grisebach's extremely precise yet highly naturalistic films take years to make: so far, we have been graced with only three features. In the January/February issue of Film Comment, Haden Guest discusses Grisebach's process of “radical observation,” as well as her relationship to existing genre forms and aesthetics. Western, Grisebach's latest film, follows a group of German workers building a hydroelectric plant in the backlands of Bulgaria. Separated by linguistic and cultural differences, one of the German workers—Meinhard—slowly begins to bridge the gap between the two camps. FC Digital Producer Violet Lucca is joined by Film Society of Lincoln Center programmers Dennis Lim and Dan Sullivan and Brooklyn Rail film section co-editor Leo Goldsmith to discuss the film, Grisebach's filmography, and her relationship to new forms of realism.

Premiered in Venice and recently screened in the New York Film Festival, Zama marks not only the long-awaited return of Lucrecia Martel, but also her first literary adaptation. Martel expanded on the first-person fever dream of the original 1956 novel by Antonio Di Benedetto, whose fans included Roberto Bolaño and Julio Cortázar. This week's episode of The Film Comment Podcast ruminates on Zama's novelistic origins with the help of literary translator and CUNY professor Esther Allen, who produced the first English translation of Zama in 2016, for which she won the 2017 National Translation Award in Prose. Allen is joined by Dennis Lim, Director of Programming at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, and Violet Lucca, FC Digital Producer and podcast host, to discuss the subconscious presences Martel might imply beyond the edges of her frames.

This week's Film Comment podcast requires very little introduction beyond the topic—Twin Peaks: The Return, a work that is both a heartfelt refraction of David Lynch's 50 years of creative output and a medium-reshaping beast unto itself. But rather than presume that 45 minutes is enough time to hone in on any single airtight interpretation (or that it would be any fun to do so), the goal is to strike an analytical balance, seeking useful context while allowing the dream to remain a dream. From some subconscious alcove above a convenience store, FC Digital Producer Violet Lucca speaks with Dennis Lim, Director of Programming at the Film Society of Lincoln Center and author of David Lynch: The Man from Another Place, about Lynch and the recent 18-episode run.

This week's episode of the Film Comment podcast begins with an interview with the irrepressible Albert Serra, director of our March/April cover film The Death of Louis XIV, which opens this Friday. Then we move on to the annual New Directors/New Films series, which wrapped this past weekend. FC Digital Producer Violet Lucca speaks with two members of the ND/NF selection committee—La Frances Hui, Associate Curator of Film at MoMA, and Dennis Lim, Director of Programming at Film Society of Lincoln Center—about what they look for when scouting for new filmmaking voices, as well as the process of crafting a well-rounded festival slate. They are joined by Nicholas Elliott, the New York correspondent for Cahiers du Cinéma and Contributing Film Editor for BOMB, in a detailed look at ND/NF films such as Arábia, The Challenge, and The Future Perfect that defy labels.

Dutch provocateur Paul Verhoeven discusses his new film ELLE, which opens in select theaters this weekend. On the occasion its release, we’re celebrating the director's 40-plus year career with a complete retrospective. "Total Verhoeven" runs November 9th - 23rd with Q&As with Verhoeven and cast members and select screenings. Check out filmlinc.org for more information. The conversation comes from the 54th New York Film Festival, where the filmmaker joined Dennis Lim for one of our HBO Directors Dialogues.

Thanks for listening to the show. We are back for the month of October with David Lynch movies. Thanks for waiting for us.  Eraserhead (1977) is David Lynch's first feature film and our point of entry. Do we ever actually talk about the movie? Sometimes. Lynch is a intimidating subject but we do our best. Thanks to Dennis Lim's book David Lynch: The Man From Another Place for providing us so much of our research. Lynch on Lynch is another good place to start along with the Criterion Blu-Ray of "Eraserhead." Mel Evans and Mark Colomb live in Colorado and enjoy making podcasts together. Please listen to any of the shows on "The Chicago Podcast Cooperative." We will be back next week with "Blue Velvet."

Since film's inception—from the Lumière's early actualités to Robert Flaherty's Nanook of the North—the boundary between documentary and fiction film has been fairly fluid (or not even a term of discussion.) And as Jacques Rivette once observed: “Every film is a documentary of its own making.” Thanks in part to the relative ease and low cost of digital filmmaking tools, directors from a variety of backgrounds have more leeway to explore and expand the definition of documentary, incorporating fictional or fictionalized elements into non-fiction works. Now in its third year, the Film Society of Lincoln Center's series The Art of the Real offers a showcase for such films, and offers a variety of documentaries, hybrid documentaries, experimental films, and narrative films in a non-fiction context. Co-programmed by Dennis Lim, director of programming at Film Society, and Rachael Rakes, a programmer at large at Film Society, this year's program includes films culled from festivals from around the world: Ben Rivers's What Means Something, Mauro Herce's Dead Slow Ahead, Brett Story's The Prison in Twelve Landscapes, Sergio Oksman's O Futebol, Ju Anqi's Poet on a Business Trip, Andrés Duque's Oleg and the Rare Arts, Roberto Minervini's The Other Side, Im Heung-soon, Factory Complex, Thom Anderson's The Thoughts That Once We Had, and Hassen Ferhani's A Roundabout in My Head, to name a few. FILM COMMENT Digital Editor Violet Lucca was joined by Lim and Rakes, as well as Eric Hynes, FILM COMMENT columnist and associate director of programming at the Museum of the Moving Image, to discuss the motivations behind the series, and the films themselves.

Dennis Lim dissects the genius of David Lynch, and Hungarian director László Nemes discusses his debut film, SON OF SAUL, which took the Grand Prix at this year's Cannes and screened in the 53rd New York Film Festival earlier this fall. Both conversations were recorded live as part of our ongoing Free Talks series, which is sponsored by HBO. This podcast is brought to you by The Film Society of Lincoln Center.

Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul discusses his life and career in an HBO Directors Dialogue from the 48th New York Film Festival in 2010. His new film, CEMETARY OF SPLENDOR, will have its U.S. premiere at the 53rd New York Film Festival, which begins this Friday. Leading up to this year’s NYFF, we’ve been looking back at some events from our archives that feature some of the stars of this year’s lineup. In case you missed it, check out last week’s wide-ranging discussion with THE WALK director, Robert Zemeckis. At the 48th NYFF back in 2010, Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s last film, UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES, had its U.S. premiere after winning the prestigious Palme d’Or at Cannes. During the festival, the director joined programmer Dennis Lim on stage in our Walter Reade Theater. Their far-reaching discussion touched on many aspects of Weerasethakul’s illustrious career, from his unique approach to structure and sound design, to the influence of science-fiction on his work.

http://www.andystreasuretrove.com/andystreasuretrove.com/Media/ATTSF%20Episode%20%2311%20Levelated.mp3.mp3 ()Episode 11 starts with two potential theme songs for Andy’s Treasure Trove submitted by listener and friend David Lisle, followed by Andy’s interview with British actor, writer and director Terence Davies. Born in 1945 in Liverpool, England, Terence Davies was the youngest of 10 children in a Catholic working-class family who suffered with an abusive father, bullies at school, the abuses of the Catholic Church and his own legendary self-loathing for being gay. After a shut-down adolescence he spent years as an accountant. He got into acting and then writing and filmmaking. His first 3 short films made in the 1980's entitled Children, Madonna and Child, and Death and Transfiguration later became known as The Terence Davies Trilogy. They were semi-autobiographical glimpses into the harrowing life of torment experienced by Davies in post-WWII Liverpool. In his first feature film, 1988's Distant Voices, Still Lives, the family again lives in the shadow of a monstrously abusive father, this time played by the great British character actor Pete Postlethwaite, whom Davies says is the only actor to play a member of his family who actually looked like the person they were portraying. Andy talks to Terence Davies about the 1992 film The Long Day Closes, a beautiful film centering on the favorite time of Davies’ childhood between the time his abusive father died and the family could relax a little, and the onset of his own highly fraught adolescence. They talk about several of his favorite cinematic techniques including his re-contextualizing of fragments of soundtracks from other movies, about the lost tradition of public singing in Britain, and of the chronic low self-esteem that haunts this great artist. Also about his new documentary/essay film about Liverpool entitled Of Time and the City, opening on Jan. 21 at Film Forum in NYC following a buzz-generating special screening at the Cannes film festival last year. Terence Davies is also being honored at New York's Museum of Modern Art this week. In an article in the New York Times yesterday (Jan. 11th), Dennis Lim compared Terence Davies with the English singer Morrissey in that they have both made a beautiful body of work based on misery. Andy spoke to Terence Davies following a chance meeting at the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley California.
