Film at Lincoln Center | Julia Loktev & Roberto Minervini on Depicting War and Immigrant Perspectives | NYFF62 @filmlinc | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 3 days ago.
NYFF62 Main Slate selections The Damned, by Roberto Minervini—a naturalistic period drama set on a remote western frontier during the American Civil War—and My Undesirable Friends: Part I – Last Air in Moscow, by Julia Loktev—a sweeping, urgent vérité documentary that follows an ensemble of dissident journalists in Russia in the months leading up to the country’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine—represent major new entries in their respective directors’ impressively rigorous bodies of work. Each film forges a vivid and extraordinarily detailed portrait of the ways in which geopolitical forces shape human relationships, vocations, and attitudes on an intimate scale. We were pleased to host Minervini and Loktev for a conversation about crafting cinematic depictions of war, whether imminent or long-past; the experience of moving between narrative and documentary modes of storytelling; and their perspectives as immigrant filmmakers working in (and outside of) the United States. Moderated by Madeline Whittle.
Talks are presented by HBO.
