Here's something from a
Variety intro piece for ND/NF 2011 by Mark Rabinowitz:
What do Wim Wenders, Barbet Schroeder, Peter Greenaway, Spike Lee, Pedro Almodovar, Steven Spielberg, Wong Kar-wai, Christopher Nolan, Darren Aronofsky, Ramin Bahrani and Kelly Reichardt have in common?
They all got their start, at least as far as being exhibited in New York City, in the New Directors/New Films Film Festival (ND/NF), which for the past 40 years has been introducing New Yorkers to emerging film talent from all over the world.
This year, fest will spotlight such talent as J.C. Chandor ("Margin Call"), Anne Sewtisky ("Happy Happy"), Denis Villeneuve ("Incendies"), Deron Albright ("The Destiny of Lesser Animals") and others who've made some noise on the festival circuit. Event runs March 23-April 3.
The child of an unusual long-term alliance between two major metropolitan arts organizations, the Film Society of Lincoln Center (FSLC) and the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), ND/NF was born out of a re-purposed grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
