Today, my last day at @filmlinc I’m thinking of so many magical, memorable, moving experiences. I started Nov 1, 2010 and this place - these cinemas, staff, films & filmmakers, and audiences - shaped me in countless ways. I’ve tried to emphasize accessibility at FLC, prioritizing free events in person and digital content that can travel far, and aimed to find ways for our fest(s) and programs to connect with wider audiences. Today I’m posting 12 images from these 12 years (I’ll put full size in Insta stories): - I love observing the audience at our screenings, so let’s start there - My first Chaplin Gala celebrated Sidney Poitier in 2011 and ended with a dance party where everyone was moving and no one wanted to leave - Bela Tarr at NYFF in 2011 received a rock star welcome - Agnes Varda was a fixture at FLC and NYFF. At a Shun Lee dinner I saw how much fun she had with fortune cookies - Terence Nance is among countless emerging filmmakers who joined us at New Directors/New Films over the years. His screenings of “An Oversimplification of Her Beauty” in 2012 were incredible - Chaplin Gala nights are always memorable but the 40th with Barbra Streisand was wildly exciting (I spent the evening escorting Liza Minelli) - Laura Poitras has a long history with NYFF/FLC. The world premiere of “Citizenfour” in 2014 was one of the most electric screenings I’ve experienced - Film culture warrior Jonas Mekas joined us for a riveting free talk in 2016 - Ava DuVernay has been at FLC a few times in recent years but the opening night of NYFF54 was pure magic (photo vanity fair) - Barry Jenkins at NYFF in 2018 with “If Beale Street Could Talk”, after being here with “Moonlight” two years prior, was so special, we screened it at the Apollo in Harlem (photo @godlis ) - John Waters, Pedro Almodóvar, and Tilda Swinton are responsible for innumerable unforgettable FLC evenings. This moment (captured by @photojuice ), from my birthday last year, was beyond - The closing night of my final NYFF featured Elegance Bratton, with cast & crew, unveiling the U.S. premiere of “The Inspection” 💜 Thanks @FilmLinc @TheNYFF @filmcommentmagazine staff, leaders, board, members and audiences!
