Sundance Press Screening: Beautiful cinematography in "Lady." Olive Nwosu's tough film won the Special Jury Award for Acting Ensemble. It follows a female cab driver who enters a kind of sisterhood with a group of sex workers and transforms her life for the better. #Lady #Sundance2026

Sundance Press Screening: Words cannot express how beautiful and gripping this doc on Nelson Mandela is. Director Antoine Fuqua and anti-apartheid activist Mac Maharaj bring Mandela's own voice--literally--via recorded interviews as he recounts the journey to freedom. #Troublemaker #Sundance2026

Sundance Press Screening: Perhaps reality TV before it was a thing. "Public Access" provides a look at New York’s underground via creators who "shattered rules, defied censors, and transformed our televisions into a free-speech battleground where anyone could be a star." #PublicAccess #Sundance2026

Sundance Press Screening: A deeply personal film for Icelandic writer Andri Snær Magnason who transforms his family's photos and videos into a time capsule to try to hold onto what is slowly slipping away. A film that resonates on such vastly different levels. #TimeandWater #Sundance2026

NYFF63 Press Screening: #SentimentalValue is told with something palpable as a famous movie-directing father attempts reconciliation with his two daughters. One is a famous stage actress whom he has written a script for. There's beauty in seeing a father's actual understanding of his children too.

NYFF63 Press Screening: Mascha Schilinski gently tells a multigenerational story though patriarchal abuse is in focus. The German filmmaker spans time periods - 1800s, mid-20th century and current times - and invites the viewer into a very personal look at the lives of the women affected. #film

NYFF63 Press Screening: For as artfully done as #TwoProsecutors is, this grim tale that bears weight today. Ukrainian director Sergei Loznitsa tale is set during Stalin's regime following a new graduate full of idealism who serves as a prosecutor trying to be just and fair in a world that is not

NYFF63 Press Screening: Hong Sangsoo's latest film #WhatDoesThatNatureSayToYou on the surface speaks to the "trust fund baby" going against type with the protagonist trying to make it in the world on his own terms. It's meditative for sure in how the film is shot. #NYFF63 #film

NYFF63 Press Screening: Luca Guadagnino's latest film, #AfterTheHunt wraps you up into the story - did he do it? did she lie? The complexity of character shines through as lives get destroyed. But, ultimately, it's a story of resilience. And capital(ism). Guadagnino's parting shot! #NYFF63 #film

NYFF63 Press Screening: Mark Jenkin's #RoseofNevada was technically very interesting - and the story captivating. Jenkin said during a Q&A, he bought the DVD collection of #QuantumLeap, and thusly went on an ethical question journey re: time travel and inhabiting other people's bodies. #nyff63 #film

I had the great pleasure to attend the premiere of "Taurasi" - a new three-part docu-series on Diana Taurasi. Diana is such a force of nature. This series demonstrates her resilience. She had to leave the U.S. and move to Russia to play professionally in order to gain her self-worth. #taurasi #film

Had the pleasure of attending a screening of #FreakyTales last night. In the Q&A afterwards with Anna Boden, she described the film's intent: to be a type of cinematic mixtape. The movie-going experience made me feel as though I was watching an actual 80s film--not an easy feat. #film #movies #nyc
