#Repost @filmlinc: We're thrilled to announce that Eugene Hernandez has been named Director of the New York Film Festival and Dennis Lim has been appointed Director of Programming for the New York Film Festival! @TheNYFF has been a centerpiece of New York film culture since 1963, introducing US audiences to the most essential new cinematic works from around the world. The 58th edition runs September 25–October 11, 2020. In addition to Hernandez's current duties, which include leadership of FLC’s Artist, Industry, and Education initiatives and serving as publisher of @filmcommentmagazine, he will be responsible for the strategic direction and leadership of the New York Film Festival and will serve on the festival’s selection committee. A member of the Selection Committee from 2009-2011, and again since 2013, Lim will now lead the programming strategy for the festival, chairing the committee that selects the Main Slate, among other sections, while continuing to oversee year-round programming for FLC. Lim will work with Hernandez on a number of innovations to the selection process and structure of the festival. Together, they will ensure that continues to be inclusive of a wide range of voices and global perspectives. The complete, expanded selection committee will be composed of FLC staff and external programmers, the members of which will be announced this spring. #NYFF
