The First Look festival at the Museum of the Moving Image will run from March 12-16, 2025, featuring 36 films, including 19 features and three world premieres. Opening with Durga Chew-Bose's adaptation of Françoise Sagan's "Bonjour Tristesse," the festival promises a diverse lineup that fosters connections between filmmakers and audiences. Eric Hynes, the festival's Artistic Director, emphasizes the importance of the event in showcasing contemporary cinema and facilitating discussions about filmmakers' creative processes and futures, making it a significant platform for both new and established talent.
First Look serves as the centerpiece of MoMI's film programming calendar, offering 36 films that highlight innovative international cinema and connections among filmmakers.
I'm excited about this year's lineup, proud of its wide spectrum of forms and practices, and eager to bring more attention to these amazing artists.
