MoMA'S FILM ENTRANCE ADVERTISES NEW DIRECTORS 2012

Film CommentSelects and NewDirectors/NewFilms are two separate series put on by the Film Society of Lincoln Center, FCS a series chosen by staff members of the Film Society of Lincoln Center's in-house monthly, New Directors in collaboration with the Museum of Modern Art. I will cover the press & industry screenings of New Directors/New Films, which generally include all the selections. Of Film Comment Selects I will see only a few. That series is spread out and this year did not have a program of press screenings.

Ken Burns on New Directors/New Films

"It was like a union card that says, 'Yes you can.' And yes, we all did."
"That afternoon at New Directors cemented what it meant to be a filmmaker for me."
