Yes! I missed this show but thank goodness for pod casts. Film Forum is really the best. Last year I was blown away by the Tod Browning festival. I also saw "Mishima" and "In a lonely Place" last year.
The best films I've seen last year were at Film Forum. Great stuff Leonard.
One of the best reasons to live in New York, and I'm a member. But the coffee is disgusting. Please teach those friendly counter-people how to use the espresso machine.
Your guest said they have a large grant to go to film fesitvals abroad.
Are there any job openings?
The FF is indeed a treasure.
Can Ms. Cooper discuss what exactly makes their repertory so wonderful?
