FIRST LOOK 2024, MUSEUM OF THE MOVING IMAGE’S FESTIVAL OF NEW AND INNOVATIVE INTERNATIONAL CINEMA, ANNOUNCES LINEUP

 

The festival’s 13th edition opens with Astrid Rondero and Fernanda Valadez’s Sujo and closes with Bill and Turner Ross’s Gasoline Rainbow, framing a lineup of 46 premieres, including 20 features, representing 21 countries

 

March 13–17, 2024

 

Astoria, New York, February 12, 2024 — Museum of the Moving Image is pleased to announce the complete lineup for the 13th edition of First Look, the Museum’s festival of new and innovative international cinema, which will take place in person March 13–17, 2024. Each year, First Look offers a diverse slate of major New York premieres, work-in-progress screenings and sessions, gallery installations, and fresh perspectives on the art and process of filmmaking. This year’s festival introduces New York audiences to more than three dozen works from around the world. The guiding ethos of First Look is openness, curiosity, and discovery, aiming to expose audiences to new art, artists to new audiences, and everyone to different methods, perspectives, interrogations, and encounters. For five consecutive days the festival takes over MoMI’s two theaters, as well as other rooms and galleries throughout the Museum—with in-person appearances and dialogue integral to the experience. Each night concludes with one of five selected Showcase Screenings in MoMI’s Sumner Redstone Theater.
 
Opening Night, Wednesday, March 13, presents the New York premiere of Astrid Rondero and Fernanda Valadez’s extraordinarily affecting Sujo, which recently took home the Grand Jury Prize, World Cinema Dramatic Competition, at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. On Sunday, March 17, the festival closes with the New York premiere of Bill and Turner Ross’s rambunctious coming-of-age road movie Gasoline Rainbow. Rounding out the Showcase Screenings are Tatiana Huezo’s sweeping ode to young women in rural Mexico, The Echo; Haley Elizabeth Anderson’s hardscrabble Brooklyn kaleidoscope Tendaberry (also following its Sundance premiere); and Robert Kolodny’s docu-fictional portrait of pugilist Willie Pep, The Featherweight—the latter two marking hometown premieres for New York filmmakers. 
 
The 2024 lineup will premiere 46 works, including 20 features, representing 21 countries. Further highlights of this year’s edition are Iranian filmmaker Farhad Delaram’s incendiary political thriller Achilles; Graham Swon’s sui generis love triangle An Evening Song (for three voices), starring Deragh Campbell, Hannah Gross, and Peter Vack; the U.S. premiere of Lois Patiño’s spiritually transporting diptych Samsara; and the North American premiere of Zhang Mengqi’s Self-Portrait: 47 KM 2020, Award of Excellence winner at the 2023 Yamagata Documentary Festival, an expansive, painterly vision of the filmmaker’s ancestral village in Hubei, China. 
 
As usual, this year’s First Look also presents an array of formally impressive, thematically daring debuts, including Shoghakat Vardanyan’s 2023 IDFA grand prize winner 1489, a devastating diary of personal and familial grief; the U.S. premiere of Sara Summa’s delightful lo-fi sibling comedy Arthur&Diana; Elizabeth Nichols’s Flying Lessons, an observational portrait of queer punk artist Philly Abe; Kim Taeyang’s Mimang, a crystalline, Linklater-esque drama about the mutability of cities and people; the international premiere of What Did You Dream Last Night, Parajanov?, the first feature from cinematographer Faraz Fesharaki (What Do We See When We Look at the Sky?), as well as two riveting archival exposés from Brazil and Georgia, João Pedro Bim’s Behind Closed Doors and the North American premiere of Elene Asatiani and Soso Dumbadze’s Limitation.
 
The festival also presents the latest by a number of First Look veterans, from Michaël Andrianaly’s vérité gem Gwetto (True/False’s 2024 True Vision awardee); to the North American premiere of Midi Z’s The Clinic, a shape-shifting reflection on the social health of his native Myanmar; to Charlie Shackleton’s 3-D jewel Lateral.
 
Another returning veteran is acclaimed experimental filmmaker Kevin Jerome Everson, who presents the North American premieres of his films Hazel (dual) and West Lounge and the world premiere of the final part of his Ohio State Reformatory trilogy Banging on Their Bars in Rhythm. Additional highlights among First Look’s avant-garde selections, the majority of them collected in the newly dubbed Illuminations program, are the world premieres of three unique marvels: Carl Elsaesser’s How to Run a Trotline, Lewis Klahr’s Five Days Till Tomorrow, and Bruno Delgado Ramo’s Labores en curso; Simon Liu’s latest stunner Single File; and the North American premiere of Nathaniel Dorsky’s Caracole (for Mac).

As part of the Museum’s Science on Screen initiative, Ekiem Barbier, Guilhem Causse, and Quentin L'helgoualc'h’s documentary made entirely inside a game system, Knit’s Island, and Nik Voigt and Mariam Chachia’s Magic Mountain will make their New York debuts, and the 2023 winners of the Sloan Student Prizes, Justine Beed and Lara Palmqvist, will participate in staged readings of their winning screenplays. 
 
Moving outside the traditional cinema space, Fiona Tan’s Footsteps, a 97-minute video installation in the Amphitheater Gallery, will open to the public coinciding with First Look on March 13, and will be on view through June 16, 2024. An opening reception with the artist takes place March 15 from 5:30–7:00 p.m.
 
Concurrent with First Look, Working on It runs March 13–15 and offers a laboratory for works in progress and dialogues about process, bringing together festival guests, filmmakers, students, writers, and the general public. Past participants have included Katie Matthews, Michael Palmieri and Donal Mosher, Maya Daisy Hawke and Joe Bini, Emily Vey Duke and Cooper Battersby. And Reverse Shot editors and writers will continue discussions begun in last year’s Emerging Critics Workshop throughout the festival. Schedule and filmmakers appearing in person will be announced soon. 
 
First Look again partners with Polish documentary festival Millennium Docs Against Gravity, welcoming Artistic Director Karol Piekarczyk and two filmmakers from their Warsaw showcase; and will again present student work from the Jonathan B. Murray Center for Documentary Journalism at the Missouri School of Journalism.
 
“Now in its 13th year, First Look has carved out a unique, and we think essential, place in New York’s film and cultural landscape. For five days in mid-March, MoMI is transformed into a space of active discovery, experimentation, dialogue, and possibility. We’re presenting a slate of films that we love and admire, and we can’t wait to show them to our audiences. We’re also welcoming artists from around the world to gather in Astoria, Queens, to meet and inspire one another with works completed and unfinished. It’s not a coincidence that First Look alums often recongregate and return to us—they’re a permanent part of our community, and we’re committed to growing a platform that champions adventurous works of cinema,” said Eric Hynes, MoMI Curator of Film. 
 
First Look 2024 was programmed by Eric Hynes, MoMI Curator of Film & First Look Artistic Director; Edo Choi, Associate Curator of Film & First Look Senior Programmer; and Sonia Epstein, Curator of Science and Technology & First Look Film and Exhibitions Programmer. First Look’s avant-garde films were programmed by Edo Choi and David Schwartz, MoMI Curator at Large.

OPENING NIGHT
Sujo 
Dirs. Astrid Rondero and Fernanda Valadez. Mexico/U.S./France. 2024, 125 mins. With Juan Jesús Varela, Yadira Perez Esteban, Sandra Lorenzano, Alexis Jassiel Varela, Jairo Hernández Ramírez. After his father is murdered by fellow cartel henchmen, four-year-old Sujo is snuck out of town by women who raise him as their own. As Sujo grows into a young man, he and his friends follow temptation and the lure of easy money back into town, where further tragedy awaits. Unlike most stories set in the milieu of Mexican cartels, Sujo’s arc doesn’t end there. He moves to Mexico City to earn an honest, threadbare living, and begins to audit classes thanks to a sympathetic teacher. But violence still shadows him, and there may be a limit to what he can escape. Rondero and Valadez’s follow-up to their critically acclaimed Identifying Features has the time-spanning breadth of an epic and multifaceted cinematic chops to match. It also has an extraordinary fidelity to the lived moment, unfurling via a series of you-are-there long takes that assert Sujo’s humanity regardless of the traps ensnaring him. Sujo is a major work by two of the finest young filmmakers of their generation. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize, World Dramatic Competition at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. New York premiere
 
CLOSING NIGHT
Gasoline Rainbow 
Dirs. Bill and Turner Ross. U.S. 2023, 110 mins. With Tony Aburto, Micah Bunch, Nichole Dukes, Nathaly Garcia, Makai Garza. On the precipice of early adulthood, five recent high-school graduates escape small-town Oregon for one last adventure together, trekking 500 miles westward for their first visit to the Pacific coast. From a busted old van to a cargo train, hitched rides to a party boat, they span the wild country and befriend a host of fellow travelers. The latest film from Bill and Turner Ross (Contemporary ColorBloody Nose, Empty Pockets) is another joyous exploration (and detonation) of the borderlands of reality, mythology, narrative, improvisation, the discernable, and the ineffable. It’s a timeless tale yet a precise record of its moment, with its five protagonists treading a classic American pathway as only they can—in the vernacular of their own time and town, and with an extraordinary sense of openness and inclusion. Few films have this much buoyancy, this much forward momentum (the Rosses’ typically delicious cinematography whizzes by, no need to gape), haunted by the knowledge that a comedown—the rest of life—awaits. New York premiere 
 
SHOWCASE SCREENING
The Echo (El Eco)
Dir. Tatiana Huezo. Mexico/Germany. 2023, 102 mins. Epic and intimate, mythological and quotidian, The Echo deftly combines Mexican-Salvadoran auteur Tatiana Huezo’s aptitude for both fiction (Prayers for the Stolen) and nonfiction (Tempestad) in one uncategorizable, absorbing cinematic experience. Such hybridity suits the film’s characters: young women in the remote Mexican town of El Eco who exude vivacious optimism while shouldering disproportionately gendered responsibilities of family, farm life, and town. Huezo familiarized herself with the community over a four-year period before embarking on a year-and-a-half shoot that overflows with seasonal spectacle, emotional peaks and valleys, and vigorous, tactile existence. Documentary Award, 2023 Berlin International Film Festival. Best Documentary Award, 2023 Morelia International Film Festival. New York premiere
Co-presented by Cinema Tropical, as part of the ongoing series Las Premieres
 
SHOWCASE SCREENING
Tendaberry
Dir. Haley Elizabeth Anderson. U.S. 2023, 115 mins. With Kota Johan, Yuri Pleskun. This rapturous, dazzlingly unconventional debut by Haley Elizabeth Anderson dives deep into the life, mind, and spirit of Dakota (Johan), a twentysomething Dominican American woman finding her footing in South Brooklyn. Dakota falls fast in love with Yuri (Pleskun), an adoring Ukrainian boy in Coney Island, but their idyll is disrupted when a family sickness sends him back home—a trip that continues indefinitely when war comes to Ukraine. What follow are days, nights, weeks, and seasons of wage labor, street encounters, misbehavior and loneliness, and the constancy of change, a theme underscored by a narrative that shifts, zigs, and zags, even incorporates archival footage made by artist Nelson Sullivan documenting New York’s queer and nightlife scenes of the 1980s. Anderson’s understanding of young adulthood in the big city is intimate and wise, as is her incantation of the Brooklyn of street corners, subway stops, dive bars, grimy apartments, and the bruised beauty of Coney Island. New York premiere 
 
SHOWCASE SCREENING
The Featherweight
Dir. Robert Kolodny. U.S. 2023, 99 mins. With James Madio, Ruby Wolf, Keir Gilchrist, Ron Livingston, Stephen Lang, Lawrence Gilliard Jr., Shari Albert, Imma Aiello. The pride of Hartford, Connecticut, featherweight boxer Willie Pep (Madio) was the winningest fighter of all time, prevailing in 229 of 241 bouts. But by the mid-1960s, the fortysomething Pep’s star has dimmed. He’s running low on money and prospects, and his young wife, an aspiring actress (Wolf), has grown restless. Despite his advanced age and the protestations of his longtime trainer (Lang), Pep decides to return to the ring—and let a documentary crew chronicle his journey. Robert Kolodny’s debut feature assumes the perspective of that documentary, which, though it’s a fictional conceit within the otherwise factually based story of Pep, is doggedly realized as if it were an actual archival document. Imagine a lost feature by the Maysles Brothers or Ricky Leacock, filmed right when they might have consorted with a colorful and tragic character like Pep, and you’ve got The Featherweight, a film that’s jaw-droppingly uncanny, while also packing an emotional wallop thanks to a career-defining performance by character actor Madio. New York City premiere
 
1489
Dir. Shoghakat Vardanyan. Armenia. 2023, 76 mins. Picking up a camera to document her family’s attempts at locating her brother after he goes missing in the 2020 Nagorno-Karabakh war, Shoghakat Vardanyan films things we don’t often see: the struggles, emotions, and Kafkaesque runarounds when missing soldiers and their families are reduced to a statistic. New York premiere
 
Achilles
Dir. Farhad Delaram. France, Germany, Iran. 2023, 116 mins. With Mirsaeed Molavian, Behdokht Valian, Hedieh Saghari, Roya Afshar, Neda Aghighi, Firouz Agheli. In Farhad Delaram’s seductive, shape-shifting debut feature, former filmmaker Farid works nights at a Tehran hospital—and sleeps there most days too. Estranged from his partner and hopeless about the future, he starts to awaken after meeting a patient in the psychiatric ward whose supposed fits of madness he innately understands. New York premiere
 
Arthur&Diana
Dir. Sara Summa. Germany. 2023, 108 mins. With Sara Summa, Robin Summa, Lupo Piero Summa. In this form-blending, refreshing work of autofiction, siblings Arthur and Diana are on a meandering road trip through France, Germany, and Italy that brings out deep-seated family dynamics that will feel familiar to older sisters and younger brothers. U.S. premiere
Screens with A Running Woman. Dir. Ojoboca (Anja Dornieden and Juan David González Monroy). Germany, 3 mins. 16mm. International premiere
 
Behind Closed Doors
Dir. João Pedro Bim. Brazil. 2023, 66 mins. In 1968, Brazil’s military dictatorship enacted Institutional Act No. 5, which suspended the constitution, silenced citizens, and opted overtly into totalitarianism. This astonishing and ingenious film features archival audio documents of the meeting that decided this act, combined with blithe moving image propaganda perpetuated by the government. New York premiere
Presented as part of MoMI’s ongoing series New Adventures in Nonfiction
 
The Clinic
Dir. Midi Z. Taiwan/Myanmar. 2023, 87 mins. In Burmese with English subtitles. In Yangon, Myanmar, a couple, Aung Min and San San Oo, operates a neighborhood clinic, providing low-cost treatments and therapies for a range of physical and psychological maladies. They also make art—paintings and films—as revealed in this shapeshifting film that starts as direct cinema then blossoms into a self-reflexive examination of the Burmese soul. North American premiere
Presented as part of MoMI’s ongoing series New Adventures in Nonfiction
 
An Evening Song (for three voices)
Dir. Graham Swon. U.S. 2023, 86 mins. With Deragh Campbell, Hannah Gross, Peter Vack. Swon’s sophomore feature displays a remarkable devotion to craft, combining elements of Gothic horror, pulp mystery, and period romance to tell the 1939-set tale of a married couple, new to the rural Midwest, who become enamored of their pious housekeeper. New York premiere
 
Flying Lessons
Dir. Elizabeth Nichols. U.S. 2024, 84 mins. With Philly Abe. An older punk artist named Philly Abe becomes muse, attentive neighbor, and friend to the younger filmmaker Elizabeth Nichols in this portrait that surfaces Philly’s life story through extraordinarily candid conversations as well as a gloriously SD video archive of concert footage and decades of DIY downtown New York films. New York premiere
Screens with This Is for Jonas Mekas. Dir. Friedl vom Gröller. Austria/U.S. 2023, 3 mins. 16mm. U.S. premiere
 
Gwetto Dir. Michaël Andrianaly. Madagascar. 2023, 52 mins. In Andrianaly’s precise observational film, four undocumented workers from across the country endure their lot at a neighborhood car wash until they can earn enough to secure their identity papers and seek a better future. New York Premiere
Screens with Hazel (dual). Dir. Kevin Jerome Everson. U.S. 2023, 12 mins. In Everson’s mesmerizing black-and-white diptych, actor-musician Ricky Goldman incarnates Eddie Hazel, the virtuoso lead guitarist of George Clinton’s Funkadelic. New York premiere
