\n\tFilm at Lincoln Center unveiled the films selected for the 64th New York Film Festival<\/a>\u2019s Currents section.<\/p>\n

\n\tCurrents presents films that expand the possibilities of the form. This year\u2019s Centerpiece selection is Tala Hadid\u2019s \u201cBardi,\u201d which makes its world premiere at the festival. Hadid immersed herself in the rugged world of horse-riders in central Morocco to follow an equestrian military ritual called Tbourida, which dates back to the 16th century.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Currents slate also includes \u201cAt Night,\u201d a feminist meditation from experimental filmmaker Beatrice Gibson; \u201cLondon,\u201d from Sebastian Brameshuber, which follows a driver connecting with ride sharers on the Westautobahn between Vienna and Salzburg; Bruno Dumont\u2019s \u201cRed Rocks,\u201d which takes an observational approach to a fanciful story of children in a French Riviera town; Manila-based John Torres\u2019 neo-noir \u201cThe Remotes\u201d and Luise Donschen\u2019s \u201cTomorrow a Long Time Ago,\u201d a lightly supernatural tale set amidst the 1990 German reunification.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso screening are Greek filmmaker Jacqueline Lentzou\u2019s coming-of-age story \u201cA Day in the Life of Jo: Chapter Phaedra\u201d and Brazilian artist Ana Vaz\u2019s diaristic journey through contemporary Japan in \u201cHanabi.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cHeil Jupiter!\u201d from Mexican auteur Carlos Reygadas, whose \u201cSilent Light\u201d premiered at NYFF45, makes its world premiere at NYFF64, as does Hong Kong-born artist Tiffany Sia\u2019s landscape film \u201cOvert Listening,\u201d which confronts the Cold War legacy of China and Taiwan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u00c9ric Baudelaire\u2019s improvisatory collaboration with kids at the National Institute for Blind Youth in Paris, \u201cFor the Moon,\u201d makes its world premiere. Ted Fendt\u2019s \u201cForeign Travel,\u201d following four friends engaging with the books of Anna Maria Ortese over a year in Berlin, will also screen. Dan Sallitt\u2019s \u201cWhat Can\u2019t Be Mentioned,\u201d which reconnects with characters from his 2021 film \u201cThe Unspeakable Act,\u201d makes its world premiere.<\/p>\n

\n\tAs a Currents and Revivals selection, NYFF will showcase the world premiere of a new restoration of \u201cSuicide Notes\u201d by Fred Camper, a diaristic work shot largely in New York in the late 1970s.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tFrom Argentinean director Mariano Llin\u00e1s, whose \u201cLa Flor\u201d screened at NYFF56, is \u201cLife of Jorge Borges.\u201d The 330-minute work delves into the life of the writer-poet through archives, private collections, rediscovered documents and irreverent narration.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis year\u2019s Currents shorts present NYFF debuts from Yixuan Zhang (\u201cBranching Streams Flow in the Darkness\u201d), Jiaqi Yu (\u201cMoon Palace\u201d) and Cameron Worden (\u201cDay One\u201d).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe shorts feature collaborations from Josh Weissbach and Ben Balcom (\u201cA Correspondence\u201d); Jonathan Seungjoon Lee and painter Huh Yun-hee (\u201cPractice Towards Light\u201d); Laura Poitras, Rachel Lauren Mueller and anonymous Minneapolis residents (\u201cThey\u2019re Here\u201d) and Maria Chavez and doris duhennois (\u201cMorne Fortune\u201d).<\/p>\n

\n\tThe slate of shorts also includes \u201cThe End\u201d from Artavazd Pelechian, \u201cForever\u2026Forever\u201d from Johann Lurf, \u201cFevers\u201d from James Richards and \u201cTHe Wayfinders\u201d from Peggy Ahwesh.<\/p>\n
