Joachim Trier’s Oslo, August 31st (2011)

It’s Friday, it’s a beautiful day in New York City, New Directors/New Films is in full swing, and goshdarnit we’re feeling generous! So we’ve decided to have a little fun and give away some ND/NF tickets while we’re at it…

Our New Directors/New Films five-film discount package is a great option for people who want to take full advantage of all the new films and fresh talent the festival has to offer. The math is simple: buy five tickets (or more!) to any ND/NF films and you get 10% off the lot, which works out to less than $10 per ticket for Film Society and MoMA members!

We asked some industry and journalist friends of ours to put together their own lists of five ND/NF films that they either recommend or are looking forward to seeing in the festival. Check out their lists below, then take a look at the full lineup and make your own (please exclude the Surprise Closing Night screening). Tweet it to the world using #NDNF & #My5 and we’ll randomly choose a winner later today to win free tickets to their full list! Not on Twitter? No problem! Shoot us your list via email.
