The Scene at NYFF with Naomie Harris and Kenneth Lonergan
Monday, October 3, 2016 at 5:13PM Murtada reporting from a weekend at the NYFF.
The New York Film Festival enables local cinephiles to catch a finely curated collection of films that have screened at other festivals earlier in the year. It is also a veritable hotbed of casual sightings of the New York film crowd: there’s Todd Haynes entering the Alice Tully Hall animatedly chatting with his Carol editor Alfonso Gonçalves (who has two films in the festival: Gimme Danger and Paterson). Here's Mikhail Baryshnikov posing with his daughter Anna who’s in Manchester by the Sea; I see Bob Balaban making his way through the security line. And, look, Edie Falco introducing herself to Casey Affleck after the Q and A for his movie.
Lonergan in conversation with Jones
Most interesting though are the stories filmmakers tell as they screen their films...
