Remembering Ray Liotta (12/18/54) today on his birthday. Ray joined us at #NYFF57 for that year’s Centerpiece selection, MARRIAGE STORY, from director Noah Baumbach in 2019. ❤️

😻 Love the cover of the Winter issue of @FilmmakerMag featuring NICKEL BOYS director RaMell Ross front and center! The Opening Night selection of #NYFF62, NICKEL BOYS is now in select theaters, courtesy of @amazonmgmstudios.

Now a 2024 @goldenglobes nominee, Pedro Almodóvar’s THE ROOM NEXT DOOR, the Centerpiece selection of #NYFF62, opens next Friday, December 20! Ingrid (Julianne Moore), a best-selling writer, rekindles her relationship with her friend Martha (Tilda Swinton), a war journalist with whom she has lost touch for a number of years. The two women immerse themselves in their pasts, sharing memories, anecdotes, art, movies—yet Martha has a request that will test their newly strengthened bond. Pedro Almodóvar’s finely sculpted drama, his first English-language feature, is the unmistakable work of a master filmmaker, a hushed and humane portrayal of the beauty of life and the inevitability of death, graced with incandescent performances by Moore and Swinton that tap the very essence of being. Winner of the Golden Lion at the 2024 Venice Film Festival, Almodóvar’s latest is not to be missed. View showtimes and get 🎟️: filmlinc.org/room

In the latest edition of FLC Luminaries, THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG director Mohammad Rasoulof discusses his stunning epic of anti-patriarchal political conviction. Watch the full episode at filmlinc.org/luminaries A target of Iran’s hardline conservative government for his films’ criticism of the state, Rasoulof fled his home country to avoid an eight-year prison sentence, though he hadn’t finished editing his latest film yet. His searing drama THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG is every bit as urgent and gripping as its real-life backstory would portend: longtime government worker Iman (Missagh Zareh) has just received a major promotion to the role of judge’s investigator, to the hopeful delight of his wife Najmeh (Soheila Golestani); at the same moment, a series of student protests against the government have exploded in the streets, stoking the sympathies of their independent-minded daughters Rezvan (Mahsa Rostami) and Sana (Setareh Maleki). The growing wedge between progressive children and traditional parents intensifies through a series of unsettling events that put Iman’s future in jeopardy.
