STILL FROM DESPLECHIN'S MY GOLDEN DAYS

NYFF 2015 Press screenings.

The reviews will begin HERE. (Festival coverage section of Filmleaf.)

We've got the schedule. I'm not allowed to publish it, but the premiere films we'll be seeing come within rough order of their public screening debut days. There will also be, as anticipated, a significant number of sidebar items from the Convergence, Shorts, Revivals, and Documentary series made available at exclusive press and industry screenings. Here are the films I'll all be able to see if I have the stamina, because they are scheduled for viewer availability. As usual I'll cut some corners to meet my priority of writing actual reviews of all the Main Slate films. The latter are printed in bold type below, the non-bold therefore being extras from the other series.
