“Thank you all for coming. I  just remind you that there will be a Q&A after the film. Please stick around“ To me, this sentence is so NYC. NYC has so many events where artists are invited to talk about their work. That is specially true for the movie business. Film Forum, the space for independent cinema, is a reference for the NYC’s film culture. Therefore, it welcomes filmmakers, writers and actors. In 2009, Joan Didion, Matt Tyrnauer, director of Valentino, André Leon Taley, Vogue’s editor at large, Frederik Wiseman, So Yong Kim and many others stopped by and Milos Forman was there on January 5th. You can download  the podcasts of all these talks. 2010 celebrates the fortieth anniversary of the film Forum. MoMA’s Department of Film invited Karen Cooper, director of the theater since 1972, to curate an exhibition of nonfiction films that premiered at Film Forum. They all give a peculiar prospective to their topic, I would recommend The war room directed by D. A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus. Enjoy !
