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 second Unfolding the Calendar episode, Film Forum programmers Sonya Chung, Bruce Goldstein, and Mike Maggiore provide a behind-the screens look at our December 2023/January 2024 calendar. They discuss films and filmmakers, a little FF history, the programming process, and what they each find particularly exciting about upcoming programming. 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. Please enjoy.
