In today’s episode, we bring you a conversation with Ryûsuke Hamaguchi from November 30, following a screening of his newest film, the critically acclaimed drama, DRIVE MY CAR. The film just won Best International Feature at the 2021 Gotham Awards, and is Japan’s official submission in the same category for the 2022 Academy Awards. The discussion was moderated by Vox film critic Alissa Wilkinson. DRIVE MY CAR is now playing. Please check www.filmforum.org for showtimes and tickets. Special thanks to Janus Films, Sideshow, Variance Films, and Cinetic Media for making this event possible.

DRIVE MY CAR - Ryusuke Hamaguchi

In this, our fourth Unfolding the Calendar episode, Film Forum programmers Sonya Chung and Mike Maggiore discuss upcoming premieres on our (now three-month!) calendar for April – June 2024. With these conversations, we hope to introduce the people behind the programming here at Film Forum – and to provide some fun inside intel and trivia along the way. Since we expanded the calendar, we have also expanded the podcast into two episodes. Look out for the second part in early May, which will feature FF Repertory Artistic Director discussing our four-week “Out of the 80s” festival (May 17 – June 13) with Richard Shepard, director of the new documentary FILM GEEK, which inspired – and will serve as the centerpiece for – the series. Please enjoy.
