#330 - New Directors/New Films 2021 Programmers' Preview

Film at Lincoln Center Podcast

This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we’re featuring a preview in anticipation of the 50th-anniversary edition of New Directors/New Films, a festival that has celebrated filmmakers who represent the present and anticipate the future of cinema, taking place virtually and in theaters from April 28 to May 8. In celebration of this year’s milestone, we’re excited to also present ND/NF@ 50, a free virtual retrospective looking back on the festival’s history, available nationwide in our Virtual Cinema from April 16 - 28. Join the programmers from Film at Lincoln Center, Florence Almozini, Dan Sullivan, Tyler Wilson, and Madeline Whittle, and the Museum of Modern Art, La Frances Hui, as they discuss their top picks from this year’s festival and retrospective, moderated by Wendy Keys. The 2021 feature committee comprises Florence Almozini (Co-Chair, FLC), La Frances Hui (Co-Chair, MoMA), Rajendra Roy (MoMA), Josh Siegel (MoMA), Dan Sullivan (FLC), and Tyler Wilson (FLC), and the shorts were programmed by Brittany Shaw (MoMA) and Madeline Whittle (FLC).
