Director Lola Quivoron with @eshynes at the #FirstLookFest screening of RODEO at @MovingImageNYC. Loved the grainy widescreen visuals. An exciting new voice. Looking forward to what she’ll do next. The film opens this weekend in NY and Chicago via @musicboxfilms. #RodeoFilm

Babak Jalali, Anaita Wali Zada, and @eshynes at the #FirstLookFest Opening Night screening of FREMONT at @MovingImageNYC. Hilarious deadpan humor, beautiful images, and strong turns from Zada, Gregg Turkington, Jeremy Allen White, and Eddie Tang. #Fremont #Sundance2023 #SXSW23

#FirstLookFest @MovingImageNYC: Lynn Cruz’s & Miguel Coyula’s CHRONICLES OF THE ABSURD exposes the dizzying bureaucratic forces that censor Cuban artists and filmmakers. An exigent, unsettling film—more so given the imperilment of the First Amendment in the US.

I had missed the Dardennes! Their latest #ToriandLokita that screened today as part of #FirstLookFest at @MovingImageNYC is a heart wrenching and infuriating immigrant story told delicately. It will start at @IFCCenter and @am_cinematheque next week with the Dardennes in person.
