Program Archive: The 1996 New Directors / New Films Festival

Co-sponsored with the Museum of Modern Art, New Directors / New Films has earned an international reputation as the foremost forum for film art that breaks or re-makes the cinematic mold. As a festival dedicated to discovering emerging and overlooked artists, newcomers on the verge of mainstream success and distinguished veterans whose work deserves wider public attention, New Directors nurtures directorial talent by creating an invaluable opportunity for that talent to win public support and acceptance.

Since its beginning in 1972, New Directors' audiences have been treated to an early preview of such diverse talents as Wim Wenders, Steven Spielberg, John Sayles, Spike Lee, Sally Potter, Pedro Almodóvar, Chen Kaige, Ken Burns, Peter Greenaway and Whit Stillman.

The 1997 New Directors/New Films festival is sponsored by Interview Magazine, A | X Armani Exchange, National Geographic Traveler and Julien J. Studley, Inc.
This program is made possible, in part, by grants from the Irene Diamond Fund and the New York State Council on the Arts.
