The Film Society of Lincoln Center announced today the details and participants for the second annual free-to-the-public NYFF LIVE series of filmmaker and film industry conversations at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center Amphitheater (144 W. 65th Street) and the Apple Store, SoHo (103 Prince Street).
“Our goal with NYFF LIVE is to give anyone the opportunity to engage with the acclaimed international filmmakers and talent who will be in the city for the New York Film Festival,” said Eugene Hernandez, Director of Digital Strategy for the Film Society of Lincoln Center. “Making these talks free and open to the public, as well as delivering video from the conversations via our growing digital channels on YouTube and iTunes, is part of a broader strategy aimed at connecting with a wider audience of cinephiles around the world.”
Highlights will include several panels dedicated to documentary filmmakers including Allison Berg and Frank Keraudren, The Dog; Nancy Buirski, Afternoon of a Faun;How Democracy Works Now, Michael Camerini and Shari Robertson and Joaquim Pinto, What Now? Remind Me. As well as one on one conversations with agnès b., My Name is Hmmm…; Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson, American Promise; Claire Denis, Bastards; Bruce Dern, Nebraska; Louis Garrel, Jealousy; Isabelle Huppert, Abuse of Weakness and Hirokazu Kore-eda, Like Father, Like Son.
A special conversation will be hosted as part of NYFF Live, on October 3, about Story Creation and the Artistic Process with the 2013 Filmmaker in Residence Andrea Arnold, Director of Wuthering Heights, Fish Tank, Red Road; Henry Bean, WriterThe Believer, Basic Instinct 2, Internal Affairs; Naomi Foner, Writer Very Good Girls, Running on Empty; Larry Gross, WriterWe Don’t Live Here Anymore, True Crime, 48 Hrs and Tamara Jenkins, Director The Savages, Slums of Beverly Hills.
An exciting addition to the lineup will feature the composers responsible for a completely original and dynamic interactive musical score, for the recently released Grand Theft Auto V, adding a level of immersion and tension never heard before in the series. This is the result of many years work and Ivan Pavlovich, Music Supervisor for Rockstar Games, will be on hand with the game’s key composers, Tangerine Dream, Woody Jackson, and The Alchemist & Oh No to explain the many intricacies of such a mammoth project and its impact on this iconic piece of entertainment.
In addition to the NYFF Live talks being free and open to the public on a space available basis, the talks will also be available online, at FilmLinc.com. The Film Society has drawn more than 1.7 million views on its popular YouTube channel alone (youtube.com/filmlinc) and the New York Film Festival content has proven to be very popular as many of the festival’s films make their way to theaters. This year we’ll again deliver video from the events to our digital platforms (YouTube, iTunes) and engage audiences via the Film Society’s active social media presence on Twitter and Facebook.
Free tickets for NYFF Live Talks will be available at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center (144 West 65th Street, between Broadway and Amsterdam) box office on a first-come, first-served basis one hour prior to the conversations and screenings.Limit one complimentary ticket per person, subject to availability.
