Nightcap 12/1/24: Dances With Films New York starts this week and random notes


Dances with Films New York starts this week.

This is the third addition of the always great LA  Film Festival here in New York,

I will have some coverage, but not as much as I would have liked simply because I did not have time to really wade into the selections...which is also why this piece is so short.

If you want details or tickets go here:

--

I apologize to everyone with a film out there I haven’t seen. In the last week I have had about 70 films dropped in my lap for year end consideration- it’s physically impossible for me to see them all by the time NYFCO votes…on the other hand I’m making a go and there is a shot a bunch will end up on my personal year end lists.

And so those wanting to know what they will see at Unseen for the next five weeks the wave of films  means December is going to be largely catch up posts and some new releases.

--

And for those tired of me prattling on about films I am happy to report that Peter Gutierrez is going to be wading in on a number of the big films this season. If you didn’t see he weighed in on QUEER this week (it can be found here) and he looks to have word on NOSFERATU and THE ROOM NEXT DOOR later in the month.

--

For those playing the home game I will have done four interviews in less than four weeks. My interview with Gints Zilbalodis the director of FLOW will be up toward the end of the week. And I am supposed to be interviewing Peter Browngardt the director of THE DAY THE EARTH BLEW UP: A LOONEY TUNES MOVIE Thursday to run with the film’s awards run and Paul Williams in connection to the screening of PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE at Brooklyn Academy of Music. (The forth one for THE FALLING SKY will run when the film hits theaters in 2025)

I saw NOSFERATU and A COMPLETE UNKNOWN earlier in the week. I will have review for the later… and maybe the former. I have many pages of paragraphs for a NOSFERATU piece that I may or may not stitch together as counterpoint to Peter's piece.
