FILM AT LINCOLN CENTER ANNOUNCES WINTER/ SPRING 2023 PROGRAMMING LINEUP
New York, NY- Film at Lincoln Center has announced its lineup of festival, repertory, and new release programming for the 2023 winter/spring season.
FLC kicks off the year with new releases including NYFF60 selections: Marie Kreutzer’s Corsage, Austria’s Oscar entry starring Vicky Krieps in a perceptive, nuanced performance who quietly dominates the screen as Empress Elizabeth of Austria, who begins to see her life of royal privilege as a prison as she reaches her 40th birthday; Alcarràs, Spain’s Oscar entry and Carla Simón’s follow-up to her acclaimed childhood drama Summer 1993, a ruminative, lived-in portrait of a rural family in present-day Catalonia whose way of life is rapidly changing; Saint Omer, France’s Oscar entry and Alice Diop’s arresting fiction feature debut, starring Kayije Kagame as Rama, who attends the trial of a young Senegalese woman (Guslagie Malanga), who has allegedly murdered her own baby daughter; Mia Hansen-Løve’s intensely poignant and deeply personal drama One Fine Morning, starring Léa Seydoux as Sandra, a professional translator and single mother at a crossroads; Albert Serra’s Pacificition, a mesmerizing, slow-building fever dream about a French bureaucrat (a monumental Benoît Magimel) drifting through a fateful trip to a French Polynesian island with increasing anxiety; a selection of Cauleen Smith’s short works, some newly restored and presented on 16mm, to be presented alongside her 1998 feature debut and landmark in American independent cinema Drylongso, which follows a woman in a photography class in Oakland as she begins photographing the young Black men of her neighborhood, having witnessed so many of them fall victim to senseless murder; and Hong Sangsoo’s Walk Up, a delicately radical structure in his latest exploration of the complexities of relationships, growing older, and artistic pursuit. In addition to this lineup, a 4K restoration of the great Claire Denis’s Chocolat, her riveting semi-autobiographical feature based on her childhood in colonial French Africa as the daughter of a civil servant, will be presented for a limited run.
Beijing-based wife-and-husband team Huang Ji and Ryuji Otsuka’s joins FLC with the release of their latest work Stonewalling (an NYFF60 Main Slate selection, opening March 10) by revisiting their previous collaborations with limited screenings of Egg and Stone and The Foolish Bird, with the filmmakers in person over opening weekend.
FLC series include: ‘Verse Jumping with Daniels, featuring a selection of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s (better known by their joint film credit, Daniels) features, plus a selection of shorts, music videos, movie trailers, and a curated list of favorite films handpicked by the directors themselves, who will appear in person; The Unknowable Tod Browning, a retrospective highlighting one of the most original and enigmatic filmmakers of his time; and the return of four beloved festivals: the New York Jewish Film Festival, Dance on Camera Festival, Rendez-Vous with French Cinema, and New Directors/New Films.
FLC programming is led by Florence Almozini, Senior Director, Programming, and the team includes Manuel Santini, Senior Manager, Programming; Dan Sullivan, Programmer; Regina Riccitelli, Senior Programming Coordinator; Madeline Whittle, Assistant Programmer; and Tyler Wilson, Programmer. In addition, FLC is joined by two at-large programmers: Cecilia Barrionuevo and Claire Diao, to complement the team.
