Critic Erika Balsom, a leading writer on experimental film, moderates filmmakers from NYFF's Currents section, the festival's survey of work that stretches what cinema can be. The conversation covers alternative filmmaking practices and the state of cinemas at the margins. If you're curious about the edgier side of the festival and want a free way in, this panel is it.
What to expect
A seated panel discussion in the amphitheater space, with filmmakers in conversation and time for ideas rather than clips. Expect working artists, students and festival regulars.
