The 47th New Directors / New Films festival is March 28 – April 8, 2018 at Film Society of Lincoln Center’s Walter Reade Theater and MoMA, the Museum of Modern Art.

Opening Night ~ Matangi/Maya/M.I.A

The Opening Night film is the New York Premiere of Stephen Loveridge’s 2018 Sri Lankan film Matangi/Maya/M.I.A. It’s a biopic about M.I.A, a Tamil rapper from Sri Lanka.

Closing Night ~ Hale County This Morning, This Evening

The Closing Night film is the New York Premiere of RaMell Ross’ 2018 film Hale County This Morning, This Evening. Director Ross spent five years with African American families living in Hale County, Alabama.

Comparing the two works of art, you can see what has changed and what hasn’t changed in 77 years.
