Film at Lincoln Center Podcast

This week we’re excited to present a conversation from the 64th New York Film Festival with Possible Love director Lee Chang-dong, moderated by NYFF programmer Justin Chang. An NYFF64 selection, Possible Love is now playing daily at FLC! Get tickets at filmlinc.org/love Eight years after his widely acclaimed thriller Burning (a selection of NYFF56), the great Lee Chang-dong makes his long-awaited return with Possible Love, an intricately layered drama about two women: a documentary filmmaker who is married to a wealthy businessman, and a working-class woman whose husband was laid off from his last job and brutally beaten by the police during a labor strike. When the documentary filmmaker decides to turn her camera on the working class woman’s family, the chasms of class—and the inevitable power imbalances of nonfiction filmmaking—emerge in a brilliant narrative of simmering resentments, shifting allegiances, and sexual tensions. NYFF was thrilled to welcome director Lee for an in-depth conversation about the new film and his long career of making movies that pierce the heart of contemporary South Korea, laying bare the scars of personal trauma and socioeconomic grievance. The 64th New York Film Festival is presented in partnership with Rolex.

Welcome to the final daily 64th New York Film Festival podcast. On today’s edition, we present a special two-part conversation in celebration of Ken Russell’s restored, uncensored cut of The Devils playing on 35mm for one week only starting this Friday at Film at Lincoln Center. Russell’s infamous adaptation of Aldous Huxley’s novel, about the apparent possession of a group of nuns after one accuses a priest of collaborating with the devil, is at long last available in its full, uncensored splendor. In 2010, a year prior to his passing, Film at Lincoln Center welcomed Russell for our retrospective Russellmania!, which featured a post-screening conversation on The Devils between the director and Vanessa Redgrave, now available to listen to for the first time. Then, at the 64th New York Film Festival, Mark Kermode joined NYFF Programmer Dan Sullivan to discuss the restoration, the film’s legacy, and how it continues to be embraced by new generations. The 64th New York Film Festival is presented in partnership with Rolex.

At the 64th New York Film Festival, Jesse Eisenberg, Julianne Moore, Paul Giamatti, Halle Bailey, Bernadette Peters, and Eldar Isgandarov join NYFF Programmer Madeline Whittle to discuss The Debut.

At the 64th New York Film Festival, Jordan Firstman, Reggie Absolom, Diego Calva, Cara Delevingne, Colleen Camp, Eldar Isgandarov, Alaska Riley, Saturn Risin9, and Miss Benny join NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim to discuss Club Kid.
