Free Talk: Oliver Laxe & Ben Rivers
63rd New York Film Festival
September 26 - October 13, 2025
Speakers
Oliver Laxe
Ben Rivers
On top of sharing an enthusiasm for mystery, the elements, and utopias, British artist Ben Rivers and Galician director Oliver Laxe also shared a producer and a shooting location on their latest films. Rivers’s Mare’s Nest and Laxe’s Sirât are both apocalyptic road movies; the first follows a child through a variety of haunted landscapes in Spain and the United Kingdom, while the second follows a man, his young son, and a motley group of ravers as they try to find their way out of a besieged desert on the borderlands of Morocco, near Spain. Each film is a radical enigma that invites spectators to engage with cinema sensorially. NYFF is pleased to welcome Laxe and Rivers for a wide-ranging conversation about the making of their new films and their intersecting artistic and thematic preoccupations.
