An Introduction To The 58th New York Film Festival

  

OK, vacation’s over (thanks, pandemic)!  The 58^th New York Film Festival is upon us and even though we can’t attend screenings in theaters this year (thanks again, pandemic!), we can still watch the films from Lincoln Center’s newly-created Virtual Cinema.  Thanks to this Virtual Cinema, anyone in the United States can view the movies at the Festival, even if you’re not here in New York City.  If you’re so inclined, feel free to click on that Virtual Cinema link and join me at this year’s festival, even if you’re not watching the same motion pictures I’m viewing.  

At the time of this writing, I’m currently scheduled to see a total of seven films in this year’s extended festival (roughly three weeks – woo-hoo!).  However, that may change if any special screenings are added during the festival (which is not uncommon, based on how festivals have gone in previous years).   Here’s what’s presently on my schedule:

Remember, if you can’t be at the festival, I’ll be posting reviews of the featured films in the coming weeks.  See you at the festival (virtually)!
