Via @thenyff: The 56th New York Film Festival poster, designed by Ed Lachman and @jr, has been unveiled! 👀👀 Can you name the director eyes in the photo? Enter our contest at the link in bio to win a signed poster + #NYFF tickets! “The idea came together using JR’s emblematic eyes,” Lachman said. “What is cinema without the mind, the heart, and the eyes of the filmmakers? Using the director’s eyes can symbolize the creative force behind the images and the stories that the Festival has championed and represented to New York over the years, supported by the audience holding the placards of their eyes, and what can be more New York than our alleyways?”

Ahead of the North American premiere of Alice Rohrwacher’s Happy as Lazzaro at @thenyff, Martin Scorsese has officially joined the film as an Executive Producer. “Lazzaro Felice is one of the most unique and exciting films I have seen this year,” Scorsese said. “Alice Rohrwacher is a filmmaker of rare talent, who with this film, cemented her place on the stage of world cinema. Alice masterfully melds the past and the present; folding the pages of history to show us the contradictions and similarities of humanity.” The transfixing third film from Rohrwacher—who was welcomed as our 2016 Filmmaker in Residence—plays October 6 & 7 at the 56th #NYFF. Tickets available at the link in bio. Photos courtesy Patrick Lewis Huban/Starpix.

This weekend only, we’re presenting banned films from the Czechoslovak New Wave, including a pair of Věra Chytilová’s most celebrated films, Daisies and Fruits of Paradise! The latter is @screenslate’s featured screening of the day, who call it a “psychedelic follow-up” to Daisies, “a surreal adaptation of the Adam and Eve parable that casts its protagonists east of Eden and into the decrepit remains of a European spa town.” 🇨🇿 Showtimes at the link in bio. See 3+ films and save with a discount package.

Just announced! On Columbus Day, join Oscar-winner Barry Jenkins (@bandrybarry) for an in-depth conversation about his filmmaking approach and the process of bringing the writing of James Baldwin to the screen in his latest feature, If Beale Street Could Talk (featured in our Main Slate). His much-anticipated follow-up to Moonlight, @bealestreet is a visually poetic adaptation of Baldwin’s Harlem-set 1974 novel. Special moderator to be announced! 📸: @seandiserio

This weekend, join us for another selection of subversive, savagely funny, dark, and defiant films from the Czechoslovak New Wave! 🇨🇿 These five films—Case for a Rookie Hangman (1969), Daisies (1966), The End of a Priest (1969), Fruits of Paradise (1969), and a tribute to the late Miloš Forman with a special screening of Black Peter (1964)—stand as enduring testaments to the power and necessity of dissident art.

The new trailer for @bandrybarry’s gorgeous James Baldwin adaptation If Beale Street Could Talk. We're proud to team with @apollotheater to present the U.S. premiere, where audiences will see this Harlem love story unfold on the big screen, in the neighborhood that is home to its characters. #NYFF

Happy 87th birthday to the legendary Jean-Claude Carrière! We're delighted to present his latest two works, Julian Schnabel’s At Eternity’s Gate and Louis Garrel’s A Faithful Man, at the 56th #NYFF. Pictured with Garrel, photo by @jr.

The legendary soprano Maria Callas—American-born, ethnically Greek, and a true citizen of the world—was one of the supreme artists and cultural stars of the mid-20th century, and she became almost synonymous with the art form to which she devoted her life—Leonard Bernstein once called Callas “the Bible of opera.” Tom Volf’s Maria by Callas (playing September 30 & October 8 at @thenyff) takes us through Callas’s life: from her childhood, early training, and rise to stardom, through her tumultuous public life and vocal decline, and to her death from a heart attack at the age of 53. This is a cinematic love note to a great artist, and a vivid audiovisual document of mid-century western culture. Reserve your #NYFF tickets at the link in bio. #MariaByCallas #MariaCallas

"Alice Guy-Blaché helped invent cinema as we know it," Manohla Dargis says in @nytimes. Don't miss Pamela B. Green's documentary Be Natural: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blaché at @TheNYFF (playing on October 7), telling the extraordinary story of the pioneer director and the 1,000+ films she made, which were largely forgotten. Dargis continues, "The first female filmmaker and among the first to make a fiction film, she made her debut in 1896 with the one-minute “The Cabbage Fairy.” She shot this charmer — which shows a sprite smilingly plucking real babies from a cabbage patch — on a Paris patio while working as a secretary for Gaumont, which would soon be a film powerhouse. Historians ignored and even rejected that date perhaps, as the theorist Jane M. Gaines has suggested, it was unthinkable that a young female secretary supporting a widowed mother could be responsible for an early-cinema milestone." #NYFF

Jean-Paul Civeyrac's A Paris Education “evokes at once old masters like Bresson, Eustache, and Garrel and the incandescence, vibrancy, and fervor of youth," says @lesinrocks. The Rendez-Vous with French Cinema favorite opens this Friday exclusively at FSLC!

“Germaine Dulac was a key precursor to the surrealist films of Luis Buñuel and a crucial champion of Jean Vigo, yet unless you’re an avid silent cinema buff, you probably have not heard of her,” says @hyperallergic. “Today, she is a striking figure to rediscover and embrace — a prolific, protean talent, with over 30 films to her name, and, at a time of heated discussion over the discrimination against women in the film industry, a reminder that such prejudice can hide behind prestigious titles, as veiled as it is systemic.” Her groundbreaking films continue to screen through Thursday! In between films today at 5:30pm at the EBM Amphitheater, don't miss a FREE talk on the trailblazing artist and women in film history, featuring Dulac scholar Tami Williams, Jane Gaines, and Sandy Flitterman-Lewis. [Clip: The Seashell and the Clergyman, playing Sunday at 6pm]

"A crucial figure in the early history of avant-garde and feminist film." - @nytimes

Our Germaine Dulac retrospective begins tonight at 7pm with the pioneering queer filmmaker's key works and live musical accompaniment! In between screenings tomorrow, don't miss a free talk on Dulac and women in film history, taking place 5:30pm at the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center Amphitheater.

This Wednesday evening, Larry Fessenden and Glenn McQuaid’s "Tales from Beyond the Pale” returns for a double bill of contemporary audio dramas. Now in its eighth year, the primarily spooky show, produced by @glasseyepix, has taken cues from the likes of Inner Sanctum Theatre and the Mercury Theatre Company while putting its own rich spin on the format. Observations both personal and political are often deeply entangled with whatever creature, creep, or ghoul Fessenden and McQuaid conjure up. Two new “Tales” written and directed by Fessenden and McQuaid will be performed live with actors, foley artists, sound designers, and musicians; it’s quite a sight, and if you dare to close your eyes, quite a listen! Previous shows have featured the vocal talents of the likes of Ron Perlman, Michael Cerveris, Lance Reddick, Doug Jones, Vincent D’Onofrio, Sean Young, and Alison Wright… so you never know who might show up. Reserve your seats at the link in bio.

"There are three Latin American horror offerings that you won’t want to miss" at Scary Movies XI, says @remezcla. With shades of The Exorcist, Guillermo Amoedo's thriller The Inhabitant plays tonight at 9pm. Playing Tuesday is Issa López‘s Tigers Are Not Afraid, which is "a grittier Pan’s Labyrinth set in the world of Mexico’s gang violence," followed by The Trace We Leave Behind, which “proves that Brazilian horror is experiencing a resurgence.” See all three and save with a discount package at the link in bio.

Just announced! On the occasion of the premiere of their new feature film, Permanent Green Light, we invited Dennis Cooper and Zac Farley to program two films they had on their minds while making it. The works they selected share their own film’s aesthetic concerns and eerie atmosphere of political indeterminacy: Philippe Grandrieux’s transfixing Un lac and James Benning’s anti-psychological take on “true crime,” Landscape Suicide. On Sept. 5 & 6, Cooper and Farley will present their new film and introduce both influences, elaborating on the connections between these haunting works and Permanent Green Light. Cooper will also participate in a career-spanning talk with @brighter_later. Tickets now on sale at filmlinc.org/denniscooper or the link in bio.

Q&A today at 5pm! Ricky D’Ambrose’s debut film Notes on an Appearance "conjures a vast imaginary world of intellectual intrigue in tiny, antic touches, which provide the context for a febrile drama of youthful ambition and frustration,” says @newyorkermag‘s Richard Brody.

"Atmospheric, unsettling, and creepy as hell, The Witch in the Window is one of the most exciting horror movies of the year." - @bdisgusting
See the U.S. premiere (w/ Q&A!) this Sunday at 5pm, followed by the punk-rock horror Boogeyman Pop at 7pm and the eerie, dread-inducing Impossible Horror at 9:30pm. See all three + save with a discount package at the link in bio.

“Somewhere in the spirit of this series lies the tantalizing possibility of being scared worse than you’ve ever been scared before, by a film you would normally never come across. The programmers behind Scary Movies have an admirable and essential devotion to international horror, allowing attendees a window into different cultures from around the globe through the images and ideas they fear.” - @villagevoice
