Just announced! June and July additions to the Film at Lincoln Center Virtual Cinema lineup include the timely documentary John Lewis: Good Trouble from acclaimed documentarian and activist Dawn Porter, which surveys the life and hard-fought achievements of the legendary civil rights activist and Democratic Representative from Georgia (free virtual talk with special guests to be announced at a later date); Mayak, Maria Saakyan’s debut feature film and the first film to be completed by a woman in Armenia; House of Hummingbird, South Korean filmmaker Bora Kim’s prize-winning coming-of-age drama; Bill and Turner Ross’ hybrid documentary and Sundance sensation Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets; Koji Fukada’s compelling revenge drama A Girl Missing (a @thenyff selection); and a 4K restoration of Ulrich Köhler’s confident debut feature Bungalow. Marking the first time that the Virtual Cinema lineup has included limited runs of exceptional shorts programs, FLC is also proud to present three rarely-seen shorts by visionary filmmaker Sergei Parajanov (#NYFF selections) and four shorts by Miguel Gomes that—in their ability to be politically incisive and hypnotically fabulist, absurdist and poignant all at once—are a perfect summation of Gomes’s restless style and ongoing interests.

The new restoration of Nanni Moretti’s international breakthrough Caro Diario opens this Friday exclusively in our Virtual Cinema! 🇮🇹 In the @thenyff selection, the filmmaker plays a thinly fictionalized version of himself going on three different journeys in Italy. First, he rides through Rome on a scooter, musing on cinema (specifically Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer and Pasolini), and has a chance encounter with actress Jennifer Beals. Next, he and his friend (Renato Carpentieri) tour various islands searching for a peaceful place to write a screenplay. And finally, Moretti goes from doctor to doctor looking for the right diagnosis for a nagging skin rash. Winner of the Best Director award at the Cannes Film Festival and ranked as the Best Film of 1994 by Cahiers du cinéma, this beloved, intimate, and hilarious semi-autobiographical triptych returns to FLC in a new 2K restoration overseen by the film’s director of photography, Giuseppe Lanci. FLC members receive a $2 discount on their rental! #nannimoretti #carodiario

We’ve announced additions to our Virtual Cinema lineup this spring, including Raúl Ruiz’s award-winning six-hour miniseries Mysteries of Lisbon, available for the first time in HD and featuring footage never before seen in the U.S.; Rendez-Vous with French Cinema selections Joan of Arc (Jeanne) by Bruno Dumont and César Award-winner Papicha by Mounia Meddour; and Abel Ferrara’s Italian-set drama Tommaso starring Willem Dafoe. Beginning June 5, Film at Lincoln Center will also present a partial retrospective of the prolific South Korean filmmaker Hong Sangsoo, featuring 2016 @thenyff selection Yourself and Yours, the U.S. theatrical premiere of 2014 #NYFF selection Hill of Freedom, and a new digital restoration of Woman on the Beach.

David Lynch: “The movies will come back. Everything will spring back and in a much better way probably... I think it’s going to be much more spiritual and much kinder and it’s going to bring us all closer together in a really strong and beautiful way. It’s going to be a different world on the other side and it’s going to be a much more intelligent world. Solutions to these problems are going to come and life’s going to be very good.” 💜💜💜 (via @vice)
