A familiar fall chill greeted film lovers at Lincoln Center Friday night for screenings of 'White Noise,' Noah Baumbach's adaptation for Netflix and opening night premiere of the New York Film Festival.
The 60th NYFF emphasizes New York connections with a series of galas for hometown filmmakers. Those include the opening night with Baumbach; a centerpiece for Laura Poitras' Nan Goldin documentary “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed"; closing night with Elegance Bratton's semi-autobiographical “The Inspection”; and an anniversary celebration featuring James Gray's “Armageddon Time,” based on his childhood in Queens.
The festival's centerpiece will be “All the Beauty and the Bloodshed,” in which the “Citizenfour” filmmaker chronicles Goldin's fight to stem the opioid crisis and the pharmaceutical companies that benefitted from it. Also among New York's selections is the latest from Iranian director Jafar Panahi, “No Bears.” In July, Panahi, one of Iran's leading filmmakers, was sent to prison for a six-year sentence related to a 2011 charge of producing antigovernment propaganda. His imprisonment has been widely decried internationally and in the film community.
