63rd New York Film Festival Talks continued with a special conversation between Mark Jenkin and Alexandre Koberidze, moderated by Film Comment editor Devika Girish.
Ghosts, folk tales, and beautiful but ephemeral visions of place run through the work of two of the most inventive filmmakers working today: Cornish director Mark Jenkin, whose film Rose of Nevada screens in the NYFF63 Main Slate; and Georgian auteur Alexandre Koberidze, whose third feature Dry Leaf is featured in the Currents section. In the former film, shot on sparkling 16mm in a small, fading port town in Cornwall, two young men go on a fishing trip that turns into a beguiling (and perhaps cursed) passage through time; in the latter, shot on a Sony Ericsson phone, a father looks for his missing daughter in the villages of Georgia with an invisible friend in tow, a quest that turns into a tour of the country’s fast-disappearing rural communities and ways of life. NYFF is excited to welcome Jenkin and Koberidze for a conversation about their mutual interests in myth and the materiality of cinema, and their proclivity for audacious formal innovation.
The 63rd New York Film Festival is presented in partnership with Rolex.
