On this week’s podcast, we’re sharing a special Q&A with Barry Jenkins, whose film Moonlight won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Drama this past weekend, followed by a Q&A with director Eugène Green, whose The Son of Joseph is opening here at the Film Society this weekend.
For our recent series Illuminating Moonlight, we invited director Barry Jenkins to curate a selection of films that inspired him. Alongside works by Wong Kar-Wai, Charles Burnett, Hou Hsiao-hsien, and Claire Denis, we also screened Jenkins’s debut feature Medicine for Melancholy and two of his short films. After a screening of Moonlight during the series, Jenkins joined the Film Society’s Editorial Director Michael Koresky for a Q&A.
The Son of Joseph is the buoyant new comedy from director Eugène Green. It tells the story of an unhappy teenager in search of an adequate father figure. The film had its U.S. premiere at the New York Film Festival last October and begins its official theatrical run here at the Film Society this weekend. Green joined programmer Dan Sullivan for a Q&A after its screening at NYFF.
