check this guy out on my page i repost he's an up coming artist message is beyond it.

This week we’re excited to present an archival conversation with director Martin Scorsese, whose new film, Killers of the Flower Moon, is currently playing in theaters worldwide courtesy of Paramount Pictures and Apple Original Films. 

In this conversation with Scorsese, the director discusses his early '70s masterpiece, Mean Streets, co-starring his Killers of the Flower Moon supporting actor Robert De Niro. De Niro’s lasting partnership with Scorsese began with the filmmaker’s breakthrough third feature, an electrifying and unforgettable depiction of small-time thugs in Little Italy that established much of what was to come in both artists’ careers. Harvey Keitel, an alum of Scorsese’s student feature Who’s That Knocking at My Door?, is Charlie, an aspirant gangster seeking a middle ground between his profession and his efforts to lead a morally upright life. But his irrepressible friend Johnny Boy (De Niro) complicates matters with his anarchic behavior and debts to loan sharks. Raising hell as soon as he arrives on screen, De Niro is entirely at home as Scorsese’s young id of Mulberry Street—equal parts funny, ferocious, and frightening.

This conversation was moderated by former NYFF Associate Director of Programming, Scott Foundas.

#497 - Martin Scorsese on Mean Streets

This week we’re excited to present a conversation with Alma Pöysti and Jussi Vatanen, the two lead actors of the NYFF61 Main Slate selection Fallen Leaves from director Aki Kaurismäki.

Sweet-souled in story, scalpel-sharp in filmmaking precision, this enchanting love story from Finnish virtuoso Aki Kaurismäki circles around two financially strapped Helsinkians who keep finding and losing one another in a world that seems to be falling apart. Evoking dark-comic romances from his early career such as Shadows in Paradise and Ariel (NYFF27), the sardonic yet exquisitely melancholic Fallen Leaves devotes its wry, humane gaze to grocery clerk Ansa (Alma Pöysti) and construction laborer Holappa (Jussi Vatanen), who commence an on-again, off-again relationship of extreme tentativeness, while seeking employment and stability. As with the greatest of Kaurismäki’s films, everyday details register as grand, meaningful cinematic gestures. This filmmaker has scrupulously carved another fictive universe out of a handful of specific, vivid locations, yet Fallen Leaves very much takes place in the world we’re living in, which makes its surrender to hope all the more affecting. Winner of the Jury Prize at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. Finland’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the 2024 Academy Awards. A MUBI release.

This conversation was moderated by The Wrap's Tomris Laffly.

Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul discusses his life and career in an HBO Directors Dialogue from the 48th New York Film Festival in 2010. His new film, CEMETARY OF SPLENDOR, will have its U.S. premiere at the 53rd New York Film Festival, which begins this Friday. 

Leading up to this year’s NYFF, we’ve been looking back at some events from our archives that feature some of the stars of this year’s lineup. In case you missed it, check out last week’s wide-ranging discussion with THE WALK director, Robert Zemeckis. 

At the 48th NYFF back in 2010, Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s last film, UNCLE BOONMEE WHO CAN RECALL HIS PAST LIVES, had its U.S. premiere after winning the prestigious Palme d’Or at Cannes. During the festival, the director joined programmer Dennis Lim on stage in our Walter Reade Theater. Their far-reaching discussion touched on many aspects of Weerasethakul’s illustrious career, from his unique approach to structure and sound design, to the influence of science-fiction on his work.
