The 63rd New York Film Festival welcomed Ira Sachs, Ben Whishaw, Rebecca Hall, and Linda Rosenkrantz to discuss Peter Hujar’s Day with NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim.

Ira Sachs’s mesmerizing latest film is based on rediscovered transcripts from an unused 1974 interview by nonfiction writer Linda Rosenkrantz (Rebecca Hall), in which photographer Peter Hujar (Ben Whishaw) narrates the events of the previous day in minute detail.

The 63rd New York Film Festival is presented in partnership with Rolex.
