Speakers

Alexandre Koberidze

Mark Jenkin
Ghosts, folk tales, and beautiful but ephemeral visions of place run through the work of two of the most inventive filmmakers working today: Cornish director Mark Jenkin, whose film Rose of Nevada screens in the NYFF63 Main Slate; and Georgian auteur Alexandre Koberidze, whose third feature Dry Leaf is featured in the Currents section. In the former film, shot on sparkling 16mm in a small, fading port town in Cornwall, two young men go on a fishing trip that turns into a beguiling (and perhaps cursed) passage through time; in the latter, shot on a Sony Ericsson phone, a father looks for his missing daughter in the villages of Georgia with an invisible friend in tow, a quest that turns into a tour of the country’s fast-disappearing rural communities and ways of life. NYFF is excited to welcome Jenkin and Koberidze for a conversation about their mutual interests in myth and the materiality of cinema, and their proclivity for audacious formal innovation.
