HBO® is the presenting sponsor of Talks, which supplement NYFF’s screenings with a series of free and live panel discussions and in-depth conversations with a wide range of guests.
All talks are live and available for free worldwide and will be conducted via Zoom webinar. Free registration is required to attend. Sign up at the link on each event page. Registrants will receive a confirmation email with a link to tune into the Zoom webinar. During the live talk, attendees can chat questions using the Q&A button. Talks will be recorded and shared at a later date on the Film at Lincoln Center YouTube channel.
