HBO Films Roundtable: New Directors and Beyond Sun Mar 30 at 12:30pm ~ Walter Reade Theater Since its inception in 1972 New Directors/New Films has been an exhibition platform for new directorial talent. This year’s HBO Films Roundtable focuses on a group of ND/NF alums who have pursued their film careers outside of the main stream and found opportunities and challenges in their hard won independence from the limited possibilities of traditional distribution. For aspiring artists in the new millennium of media, the experiences of these diverse film and video makers may shed light on their own trajectories. At press time, panelists include Michael Almereyda (Another Girl, Another Planet, ND/NF 1993); Su Friedrich (The Ties that Bind, ND/NF 1985; Rules of the Road, NDNF 1993); Philip Haas (A Day on the Grand Canal with the Emperor of China, ND/NF 1988; Music of Chance, ND/NF 1993); Tamara Jenkins (Family Remains, NDNF 1994); Tom Kalin (Swoon, ND/NF 1992); Lodge Kerrigan (Clean Shaven, ND/NF 1994); and Jim McKay (Our Song, ND/NF 2000; Everyday People, ND/NF 2004). A more talented and diverse collection of independent spirits would be hard to find! Please join us as we look at the various ways to make your way in media in a new century.
