NYFF 2015 Projections series

The Film Society of Lincoln Center has announced its avant-garde Projections series, the second NYFF sidebar series. You will find the complete listing of offerings here.

The lineup has been announced for Projections, the New York Film Festival’s avant-garde section, taking place from Friday, October 2 through Sunday, October 4. This year’s lineup, which includes 14 programs, presents an international selection of film and video work that expands upon our notions of what the moving image can do and be. Drawing on a broad range of innovative modes and techniques, including experimental narratives, avant-garde poetics, crossovers into documentary and ethnographic realms, and contemporary art practices, Projections brings together a diverse offering of short, medium, and feature-length work by some of today’s most vital and groundbreaking filmmakers and artists.

“We think of Projections, now in its second year, as the festival’s ever-shifting zone of discovery, a survey of inventive and unconventional work that updates and challenges our idea of what constitutes experimentation in cinema,” said Dennis Lim, the Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Director of Programming and one of the curators of Projections

Convergence series.
The other, smaller, sidebar series is the interactive-focused Convergence series. You'll find that described here.

Details have been announced for the Convergence section of the 53rd New York Film Festival, which will take place on September 26 and 27. The annual program delves into the world of immersive storytelling with a mix of unique films, panels, and live interactive experiences. The schedule will be announced at a later date.

“This is our fourth year as part of the New York Film Festival and I couldn’t be more excited about the lineup for 2015,” said NYFF Convergence programmer Matt Bolish.
