This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we’re revisiting a conversation from the  27th Rendez-Vous with French Cinema with Hold Me Tight (opens tomorrow!) director Mathieu Amalric and actor Vicky Krieps, moderated by NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim. Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread, Bergman Island) gives another riveting performance as Clarisse, a woman on the run from her family for reasons that aren’t immediately clear. Widely renowned as an actor but less well-known here for his equally impressive work behind the camera, Mathieu Amalric’s sixth feature directorial outing—his most ambitious to date—is a virtuosic, daringly fluid portrait of one woman’s fractured psyche. Alternating between Clarisse’s adventures on the road and her abandoned husband Marc (Arieh Worthalter) as he struggles to take care of their children at home, Amalric’s film keeps viewers uncertain as to the reality of what they’re seeing until the final moments of this richly rewarding, moving, and unpredictable portrait of grief.

This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we’re revisiting a conversation from the 51st New Directors/New Films, moderated by FLC Senior Director of Programming Florence Almozini, with filmmaker Ricky D’Ambrose in anticipation of his latest film, The Cathedral, opening in our theaters this Friday with Q&As.  A multigenerational family saga in extreme miniature, the new feature from singular American independent director Ricky D’Ambrose is his most refined, emotionally resonant work yet. Slicing across decades with impressionistic precision, The Cathedral tells the formally economical yet engrossing story of the Damrosch family, whose quiet rise and fall is seen through the eyes of its youngest member, Jesse, born in the late 1980s. Using photographs and archival news footage to buttress his oblique drama, D’Ambrose shows how a family’s financial and emotional wear and tear can subtly reflect a country’s sociopolitical fortunes and follies.

This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we’re featuring a special archival Q&A from the 47th New York Film Festival in 2009 with director Claire Denis and cast members Isaach de Bankolé & William Nadylam on White Material, moderated by Melissa Anderson. Claire Denis returns to NYFF for this year’s 60th-anniversary edition with two films: the Main Slate selection, Stars at Noon, and the Revivals selection, No Fear No Die. Based on the 1986 novel by Denis Johnson, Stars at Noon represents a new mode for director Claire Denis, a contemporary thriller suffused with political intrigue and languid eroticism, moving entirely to the tactile rhythms of its actors, especially rising star Margaret Qualley, who gives a live-wire performance of fervid spontaneity and mercurial passion. No Fear No Die, Claire Denis’s rarely screened second feature, is a radically physical cinematic journey into the shadowy (under)world of illegal cockfighting. Isaach De Bankole and Alex Descas star as Dah and Jocelyn, two immigrants (from Benin and French Antilles, respectively) living on the outskirts of Paris who earn money from cockfights. A very limited amount of NYFF60 Passes are now on sale! Single tickets will go on sale to the General Public on September 19, with pre-sale access for FLC Members and Pass holders prior to this date.  Listen to the discussion on the film below and don’t forget to subscribe on iTunes, Spotify, or Stitcher for more filmmaker conversations.

This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we’re featuring a special archival Q&A from the 43rd New York Film Festival in 2005 with Noach Boambach on The Squid and the Whale, moderated by Phillip Lopate. Noah Baumbach returns to NYFF for this year’s 60th-anniversary edition with the Opening Night film, White Noise, a wonderfully abrasive and precisely mounted period piece based on Don DeLillo’s epochal postmodern 1985 novel, which befits our modern, through-the-looking-glass pandemic reality.  NYFF60 Passes are now on sale! Single tickets will go on sale to the General Public on September 19, with pre-sale access for FLC Members and Pass holders prior to this date. Learn more at filmlinc.org/nyff.

This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we’re featuring a Q&A from the 59th New York Film Festival with director Kiro Russo on his NYFF59 Currents selection, El Gran Movimiento, moderated by NYFF Program Advisor Violeta Bava. Expanding on the hybrid narrative of his remarkable 2016 film Dark Skull, Kiro Russo has mounted a monumental, gently mystical portrait of the contemporary central South American cityscape and those who work within its bowels and environs. Set in the alternately harsh and beautiful terrain of La Paz, Bolivia and its surrounding rural areas, El Gran Movimiento follows a young miner as he looks for work alongside his friends, even as he begins to descend into a mysterious sickness. With its marvelous long-lens zoom work and increasingly dynamic, rhythmic editing, Russo’s film is a hypnotic journey into a psychological space that touches upon the supernatural. El Gran Movimiento opens this Friday in our theaters. For showtimes and tickets, go to filmlinc.org/movimiento.

This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we’re featuring a Q&A from the 51st New Directors/New Films with Sara Dosa, director of Fire of Love, moderated by FLC Assistant Programmer Tyler Wilson. World-famous volcanologists and lovers Katia and Maurice Krafft fearlessly observed and studied volcanic eruptions up close across the globe; they were at once intrepid adventurers, committed scientists, and innate filmmakers, capturing destructive earth ruptures with surreal beauty and terror. Tragically, they were killed together at the eruption of Japan’s Mount Unzen in June 1991. Using a trove of the couple’s monumental, almost otherworldly 16mm footage, filmmaker Sara Dosa consummately constructs the narrative of their remarkable lives, making the Kraffts into both vivid movie stars and unknowable figures whose pursuits constantly put them on the crater’s edge of existence. Evocatively narrated by Miranda July, Fire of Love is a transportive work of genuine awe. The NDNF51 selection is now playing in theaters.
