TODAY IN THE MAIN SLATE:
The Artist, Noon, Alice Tully Hall, RUSH TICKETS AVAILABLE!*
A wonderful and brand-new French black-and-white silent movie about the moment talkies arrived in Hollywood.

Policeman, 2:45pm, Alice Tully Hall, RUSH TICKETS AVAILABLE!*
This gripping political drama from Israel won major prizes at the Jerusalem and Locarno film festivals. The film mines domestic unease within Israel, rather than the external conflicts that often consume it. Gorgeously shot, this unique, soberly observed vision probes the Israeli national psyche even as historic social protests erupted there in recent months. (NYFF Spotlight)
