Astoria, New York, February 10, 2023 — Museum of the Moving
Image is pleased to announce the complete lineup for the 12th edition of First
Look, the Museum’s festival of new and innovative international cinema, which
will take place March 15–19, 2023. The festival introduces New York audiences
to formally inventive works that seek to redefine the art form while engaging
in a wide range of subjects and styles. The 2023 lineup includes both
nonfiction and fiction, features and shorts, as well as forms that fall outside
the boundaries of traditional theatrical distribution. This year, the festival
will premiere 38 works, including 19 features representing more than 22
countries.

Among the highlights of the 2023 edition are Tori and
Lokita, the newest from Belgian masters Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne and
recipient of a Special 75th Anniversary Award at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival,
as well as numerous debut films and early career works. Of the five showcase
screenings—Babak Jalali’s Fremont, the Opening Night selection; Lola Quivoron’s
Rodeo; Chloe Abrahams’s The Taste of Mango; Artemis Shaw and Prashanth
Kamalakanthan’s New Strains, winner of a Special Jury Award in the IFFR 2023 Tiger
Competition; and C.J. "Fiery" Obasi’s Mami Wata, winner of the
Sundance 2023 World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award for Cinematography,
which closes the festival—only Jalali has directed more than two features.
Several features received world premieres earlier this year at the Sundance and
Rotterdam festivals, and some will debut at the upcoming True/False festival;
others entered the world in 2022 through Berlin, Visions du Réel, Cannes,
Locarno, Venice, IDFA, and beyond. First Look will be the first time any of
them have played for an audience in New York.
First Look also features exciting new works from established
filmmakers, including the U.S. premiere of Koji Fukada’s Love Life; the New
York premiere of Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch’s 2022 Cannes
Jury Prize recipient The Eight Mountains; the North American premiere of
avant-garde master Robert Beavers’s The Sparrow Dream, presented as part of an
all-16mm program with five previous shorts; as well as Rose Lowder’s La source
de la loire, screening as part of a special First Look edition of MoMI’s
recurring experimental showcase Persistent Visions; Maid, a new short from
Lucrecia Martel; Mary Helena Clark and Mike Gibisser’s A Common Sequence; and
Gastón Solnicki’s A Little Love Package.
An unprecedented four films will be presented under the
banner of Science on Screen, MoMI’s year-round series that showcases science or
technology-themed works. All of these films—Terra Jean Long’s Feet in Water,
Head on Fire; Mary Helena Clark and Mike Gibisser’s A Common Sequence; Gerard
Ortín Castellví’s Agrilogistics; and Leandro Listorti’s Herbaria— speak to the
precarious state of the world, showing plants seeking stable ground, while
human agents of the Anthropocene are displaced.
Several other festival films speak to the current moment,
including films centered on Ukraine (Three Women, Away), resisting colonization
(The River Is Not a Border, Mami Wata, R 21 aka Restoring Solidarity), the
global refugee crisis (Tori and Lokita, Fremont), and women’s and LGBTQ+ issues
(The Taste of Mango, Silent Love, Joan d’Arc, It’s What Each Person Needs).
Filmmakers appearing in person will be announced later,
along with the lineup for this year’s fourth annual Working on It program,
daytime sessions March 15–17 open to the public in which filmmakers, critics,
and students engage in conversations about the creative process via workshops
and work-in-progress presentations. This year, First Look launches the Reverse
Shot Emerging Critics Workshop, with an inaugural cohort of six early-career
writers. This year also begins a collaboration with Polish documentary festival
Millennium Docs Against Gravity, with Artistic Director Karol Piekarczyk
presenting two selections from their Warsaw showcase and engaging in the
Working on It sessions. As in previous years, student work from both the
Jonathan B. Murray Center for Documentary Journalism at the Missouri School of
Journalism and the BFA Film Department, School of Visual Arts will be presented
both officially in the festival program and as works in progress.
MoMI Curator of Film Eric Hynes said, “The guiding ethos of
First Look is discovery, aiming to introduce audiences to new films, filmmakers
to new audiences, and everyone to different methods, perspectives,
interrogations, and encounters. For these five consecutive days First Look
takes over our two theaters as well as other rooms and galleries throughout the
Museum. Artists appearing with their work, watching one another’s work, and
continuing a dialogue throughout the festival is integral to what we’ve envisioned.”
First Look 2023 was programmed by Hynes; Edo Choi, Associate
Curator of Film; and Sonia Epstein, Curator of Science and Technology; with
assistance from Becca Keating, Deputy Director of Development; Beatrice
Bankauskaite, Film Department Assistant; and Eynar Pineda, First Look Artist
Liaison.

FIRST LOOK 2023 PROGRAM:
OPENING NIGHT
Fremont
Dir. Babak Jalali. U.S. 2023, 91 mins. With Anaita Wali
Zada, Jeremy Allen White, Gregg Turkington, Hilda Schmelling. Lying alone in
her small apartment in the Bay area town of Fremont, California, Donya can’t
sleep. Joanna, with whom she works in a fortune cookie factory in San
Francisco, thinks the newly immigrated twentysomething is lonely, while her pro
bono psychiatrist (Turkington) clumsily teases out potential explanations like
Donya’s past work as a translator for the U.S. government. Meanwhile at her
housing complex, which is populated by fellow Afghan refugees, her insomnia is
hardly unusual. Filmed in black-and-white and unfolding in highly composed
static shots, Fremont is a quietly radical tale of an outsider who’s both alone
and at home among outsiders, and a work of exquisitely modulated tone,
somewhere between deadpan comedy and offhand sorrow. New York premiere
Preceded by Away. Dir. Ruslan Redotov.
Hungary/Portugal/Belgium. 2022, 29 mins. In English, Ukrainian, and Hungarian
with English subtitles. Andrey and Alisa are 16-year-old refugees living in
Budapest. Together they look after fellow refugee children who are preoccupied
by what they’ve witnessed and what’s going on back home, make protest art in a
public park that elicits both pro-Ukrainian support and pro-Russian rancor, and
struggle to adapt to what’s become and what’s to come. New York premiere
CLOSING NIGHT
Mami Wata
Dir. C.J. "Fiery" Obasi. Nigeria. 2022, 107 mins.
In West African pidgin with English subtitles. With Evelyne Ily Juhen, Uzoamaka
Aniunoh. In the waters off the coast of West Africa swims the powerful mermaid
goddess Mami Wata. Divining her whims and wishes falls to Mama Efe, a revered
intermediary for the townspeople of Iyi. But gathering doubts within the
community lead to calls for a change of philosophy and leadership, setting the
table for armed conflict and for Efe’s daughters Zinwe and Prisca to fight for
Iyi’s integrity and soul, the last defense against an invading wave of
modernity. Director Obasi and cinematographer Lílis Soares electrify the eye
with ultra-high contrast black-and-white photography and exacting, evocative,
etching-like compositions. Winner, World Cinema Dramatic Competition Jury Prize
for Cinematography, 2023 Sundance Film Festival. New York premiere
SHOWCASE SCREENING
Rodeo
Dir. Lola Quivoron. France. 2022, 105 mins. In French with
English subtitles. With Julie Ledru, Yannis Lafki, Antonia Buresi. Hot-tempered
and fiercely independent, Julia is a gearhead who has a talent for scamming
condescending men. She hooks up with an ultra-masculine gang, performing cons
and running errands for their incarcerated ringleader, Dom, while finding a
connection with his wife, a move that puts a target on her back. Ledru, in her
first screen role, is mesmerizing, always perched on a knife’s edge between
wrath and inner collapse, embodying power and joy only in literal stolen
moments on a bike. Winner of the Jury’s Coup de Coeur at the 2022 Cannes Film
Festival’s Un Certain Regard. A Music Box Films release. New York City premiere
Preceded by Jill, Uncredited. Dir. Anthony Ing. U.K./Canada.
2022, 18 mins. One of the world’s most prolific background actors takes center
stage in this portrait constructed entirely from Jill Goldstein’s fleeting
appearances in everything from Mr. Bean to The Elephant Man. New YorkNorth
American premiere
SHOWCASE SCREENING
The Taste of Mango
Dir. Chloe Abrahams. U.K./U.S. 2023, 75 mins. A tender and
poetic love letter from daughter to mother, The Taste of Mango expresses a
complexity of feeling and affinity that only cinema might approach. In
intimate, candid conversations with her mother Rozana, Chloe probes territory
long undiscussed, including a past trauma that’s strained Rozana’s relations
with Chloe’s grandmother, Jean, who comes for an extended visit from Sri Lanka.
Abrahams’s debut feature is an enveloping, hypnotic first-person film. New York
premiere
Preceded by Before You Were Here
Dir. Jeff Reichert. U.S. 2023, 11 mins. Anticipating his
child-to-be while on a distant journey to the Peruvian Amazon, Reichert makes a
cinematic time capsule of what and how he sees, while also asking other men
about their first moments of becoming a father. World premiere
SHOWCASE SCREENING
New Strains
Dirs. Artemis Shaw, Prashanth Kamalakanthan. U.S. 2023, 78
mins. With Artemis Shaw, Prashanth Kamalakanthan. Millennial cherubs Kallia and
Ram have just arrived in New York for their romantic getaway, but a strange new
pandemic has other plans. Quickly spiraling into a mutual embrace of manic
despair, the couple begins to resemble a pair of screwball comedy heroes
marooned in a film by Luis Buñuel. Scrappily shot on Hi8 video, Shaw and
Kamalakanthan’s film is a depressingly accurate evocation of the city’s first
few months of lockdown and an endearing display of cinematic ingenuity. North
American premiere
Art Talent Show
Dirs. Adéla Komrzý, Tomáš Bojar. Czech Republic. 2022, 102
mins. In Czech with English subtitles. Every year the Academy of Arts (AVU) in
Prague receives hundreds of applications. Art Talent Show observes every step
in the arduous process for three studios, which are presided over by three
different sets of professors. By taking a faculty-eye view, the film surfaces
the myriad challenges old guard institutions face in evaluating, teaching, and
respecting young artists steeped in hyper-contemporary values, tastes, and
preoccupations. A dastardly funny, cringey, and revealing snapshot of the
present. A Film Movement release. New York premiere
A Common Sequence
Dirs. Mary Helena Clark, Mike Gibisser. Mexico/U.S. 2023, 78
mins. Transporting us from the banks of a dying lake in Pátzcuaro, Mexico, to
the apple orchards of Prosser, Washington, to the lands of the Cheyenne River
Sioux, this singular essay film juxtaposes three disparate, present-tense
situations to lay bare the enmeshed problems beneath the surface of our visible
reality: depletion and conservation, extraction and cultivation. Woven with
coolly framed images and carefully layered sounds, A Common Sequence is a
richly generative, open-ended experience from two of the most exciting
filmmakers at work today. A Science on Screen presentation. New York premiere
The Eight Mountains
Dirs. Felix van Groeningen, Charlotte Vandermeersch.
Italy/Belgium. 2022, 147 mins. In English and Italian with English subtitles.
With Luca Marinelli, Alessandro Borghi. Adolescents Pietro and Bruno meet one
summer in the Italian Alps. Pietro's on summer vacation with his family; Bruno
is native to the mountains, where playmates and his own family are scarce. Only
children, they become like brothers. But after Bruno is suddenly sent off to
work, the boys separate for many years. Reunited as adults, they tentatively
forge a new connection in the mountains, one that will prove to sustain them
through life’s changes, ruptures, and battles with personal demons that only
they truly understand about each other. Recipient of the prestigious Jury Prize
at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. A Sideshow and Janus Films release. New York premiere
Feet in Water, Head on Fire
Dir. Terra Jean Long. Canada. 2023, 90 mins. In English and
Spanish with English subtitles. An invisible line connects California to parts
of the Middle East and North Africa, where similar climates provide ideal
growing conditions for date palm trees. Shooting on 16mm, filmmaker Long
surveys the arid landscape along the San Andreas Fault—from microscopic plant
cells to the golden mountains—and gently probes the precarious lives of those
whose livelihoods are dependent on the trees’ sweet fruits and the exoticism
they lend the region. A Science on Screen presentation. New York premiere
Herbaria
Dir. Leandro Listorti. Argentina/Germany. 2022, 83 mins. In
Spanish and German with English subtitles. Listorti’s gorgeously collaged film,
shot on both 16mm and 35mm, invites viewers into the delicate work of
preserving plants and celluloid, both of which are under threat of extinction
and require practices of collection, inspection, and archiving. In rhythmically
interweaving the performances of this work in both fields, the film gives us an
almost tactile experience of Argentina as a place—its subtropical climate as
well as its colonized past. A Science on Screen presentation. New York premiere
Preceded by Agrilogistics
Dir. Gerard Ortín Castellví. Spain/U.K. 2022, 21 mins.
Artist Castellví’s new film shows life resisting the controlled environment of
an industrial greenhouse. Machines plant tulip bulbs, tomatoes are fed a fixed
diet that stimulates growth, and the cinematographer’s hand moves the camera
with precision. A Science on Screen presentation. North American premiere
Huahua’s Dazzling World and Its Myriad Temptations
Dir. Daphne Xu. China/Canada/U.S. 2022, 82 mins. In Mandarin
with English subtitles. In Xiong’an New Area, a government-planned city just
south of Beijing, the earthy, energetic Huahua ekes out a life for herself and
her family by livestreaming on the video-sharing app Kuaishou. Composed almost
entirely of long takes, whose compositions position Huahua firmly within and
relative to her physical and social environment, Xu’s film lays bare the
irreconcilable distance between the self on screen and the self in space. New
York premiere
Preceded by
It’s What Each Person Needs
Dir. Sophy Romvari. Canada. 2022, 11 mins. In this
thoughtfully organized, docufictional portrait of actor-artist, sex worker, and
caregiver Becca Willow Moss, Romvari probes questions of self-presentation,
vulnerability, and authentic connection. International premiere
A Little Love Package
Dir. Gastón Solnicki. Austria/Argentina. 2022, 81 mins. In
English, German, and Spanish with English subtitles. DCP. With Angeliki
Papoulia, Carmen Chaplin, Nikolaus Weidinger. The singular Argentine filmmaker
Solnicki (Kékszakállú) returns with this richly strange cabinet of curiosities,
at once a tribute to the fading grandeur of old Vienna and a cryptic poem on
the themes of modern rootlessness and the malaise of the monied classes. North
American premiere
Love Life
Dir. Koji Fukada. Japan/France. 2022, 124 mins. In Japanese
with English subtitles. With Fumino Kimura, Kento Nagayama, Atom Sunada. Taeko
(Kimura), her husband Jiro (Nagayama), and son Keita live a seemingly blissful
middle-class existence as beloved members of a sun-bathed apartment complex
community. A tragic accident forces Taeko and Jiro to reckon with their
unacknowledged differences, leading Taeko on an emotional journey that will
reunite her with her struggling former husband. An impeccably crafted study of
the distorted senses of self-worth that motivate feelings of care, Fukada’s
film constitutes a sparkling revival of the emotional currents of classical
Japanese melodrama. U.S. premiere
R 21 aka Restoring Solidarity
Dir. Mohanad Yaqubi. Palestine/Belgium/Qatar. 2022, 70 mins.
In Arabic and Japanese with English subtitles. While traveling around the world
to present his previous film, Off Frame, an all-archival exhumation of
Palestinian revolutionary cinema, Yaqubi met someone who claimed to have a
voluminous collection of pro-Palestinian work . . . in Japan. Using that
footage, R 21 aka Restoring Solidarity offers a fascinating, eclectic, and
inspiring survey of cross-continental solidarity. New York premiere
The River Is Not a Border
Dir. Alassane Diago. Senegal/France/Germany. 2022, 105 mins.
In French, Wolof, and Arabic with English subtitles. By the southern bank of
the river demarcating the official border between Mauritania and Senegal,
filmmaker Diago convenes an open-air assembly of Black Mauritanians who, in
1989, were expelled from their homeland by a racialist Arab government. Diago’s
film keys into each survivor’s physical presence, registering facial tics,
vocal mannerisms, and gestures, such that the subtlest changes in mood and tone
become major events in this riveting collective performance of truth without
reconciliation. U.S. premiere
Silent Love
Dir. Marek Kozakiewicz. Poland/Germany. 2022, 72 mins. In
Polish with English subtitles. Thirty-five-year-old Aga starts to look after
her teenage brother, Milosz, after their mother’s death. While caring for him
with the dedication and responsibility of a parent, she also seeks to become
his legal guardian. To do so, she must navigate both a stringent legal
apparatus and the mores of her conservative community by keeping her long-term
relationship with Maja secret —even from Milosz. New York premiere
Preceded by Joanna d'Arc
Dir. Aleksander Szamalek. Poland. 2021, 30 mins. In Polish
with English subtitles. Aneta is the manager of an erotic massage parlor in
France. She left Poland to seek her own path, but things have gotten tangled
up, and it may be time to change things up again, and reclaim her freedom.
North American premiere
Three Women
Dir. Maksym Melnyk. Ukraine. 2022, 84 mins. In Ukrainian
with English subtitles. A young director and cinematographer come to the remote
town of Stuzhytsia (bordering Ukraine, Slovakia, and Poland) and meet three
women: the no-nonsense, elderly solo farmer Hanna; the sympathetic, beleaguered
postwoman Maria; and the intrepid biologist Nelya. An attentive work of
observational cinema quickly develops into something more porous and
collaborative when the women’s sense of community and instinct for connection draw
the filmmakers in front of the camera. New York premiere
Preceded by Ashes by Name Is Man
Dir. Ewelina Rosińska. Germany/Poland. 2023, 20 mins. No
dialogue. “The film shifts between a portrait of my eighty-year-old
grandparents and my view on the elements and imagery of the national-Catholic
narrative in the Polish landscape. It is my personal approach to the experience
of growing up in Poland, where the war and post-war history is constantly
present and the process of forming a national identity has never lost its
meaning.” North American premiere
Tori and Lokita
Dirs. Jean-Pierre & Luc Dardenne. Belgium/France. 2022,
83 mins. In French with English subtitles. DCP. With Pablo Schils, Mbundu
Joely, Charlotte De Bruyne. The latest by the Dardenne Brothers is a steely
account of the harrowing odyssey of two African refugees, a young boy and
teenage girl, who have come to care for each other like brother and sister. As
their situation grows increasingly desperate, the girl Lokita makes a fateful decision.
A characteristically absorbing and detailed depiction of mettle, devotion, and
resourcefulness under the most dehumanizing circumstances, Tori and Lokita is
as urgent and timely a statement as the Dardennes have ever given us. Recipient
of the 75th Anniversary Prize at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival. A Sideshow and
Janus Films release. New York premiere
Preceded by Maid
Dir. Lucrecia Martel. Argentina/Mexico. 2022, 12 mins. In
Spanish with English subtitles. With Anavelí Acero, Jorgelina Contrera, Ariel
Gigena, Daniel Valenzuela. The latest work from Argentinian master Martel is an
exquisitely ambiguous class encounter palindrome in which a woman’s training in
hospitality keeps getting derailed by calls from home and other impulses. New
York premiere
Robert Beavers’s The Sparrow Dream and Other Films
Returning to a New York screen with his first film in nearly
four years, Robert Beavers will present the North American premiere of his
magisterial The Sparrow Dream in context with his previous five films, which
together have come to comprise a cycle that varies upon the themes of home,
family, time, memory, the unconscious, and, as always, the projective
cinematography of the filmmaker.
