2021 marked the birth centenary of Amos Vogel, the pioneering film programmer, author, and co-founder of the New York Film Festival. To celebrate this occasion and honor Vogel’s path-blazing legacy, NYFF inaugurated the Amos Vogel Lecture, to be delivered annually by an artist or thinker who embodies the subversive spirit of Vogel’s cinephilia and brings it into conversation with the present and future of cinema.
For the fifth edition of the Amos Vogel Lecture, NYFF was proud to welcome visionary auteur Lucrecia Martel, whose latest feature and first work of documentary filmmaking, Nuestra Tierra (Landmarks), screened in the NYFF63 Main Slate. Martel followed the lecture with a conversation moderated by NYFF63 advisor Violeta Bava. Thanks to Cordelia Montes for interpretation.
Martel has long been known for her stylistically subversive and politically incisive work, which often turns its gaze onto the lasting legacies of colonialism in Argentina. With Nuestra Tierra, Martel returns to the subject with an unflinching nonfiction lens, tracing the circumstances—going back centuries—that culminated in the 2009 murder of Indigenous activist Javier Chocobar by Argentine police and landowners and the protracted legal process that ensued. The film, and Martel’s career at large, exemplify par excellence the radical vocation that Vogel attributed to the cinematic arts.
The 63rd New York Film Festival is presented in partnership with Rolex.
