Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw. I’m your host, Nicolas Rapold. Right at the tail end of the New York Film Festival, I caught up with Jon Dieringer, editor and publisher of Screen Slate. We talked about highlights from the festival and also some terrific titles shown in a Screen Slate series at the Roxy Cinema that helped kick off the moviegoing season for a lot of New York movie-lovers. Jon has worked for years as an archivist so he also shares his expertise and opinion on how movies make their way through repertory and into film history, as well as a lovely anecdote about the late, great filmmaker Sarah Maldoror, director of Sambizanga among others.
