Now in its 34th year, the renowned New Directors/New Films festival, presented jointly by The Film Society of Lincoln Center and The Museum of Modern Art, introduces New York audiences to the work of emerging or not-yet-established filmmakers from around the world, many of whom introduce their films. This year, the Festival takes place both at The Museum of Modern Art and at Lincoln Center, where the festival opens at Alice Tully Hall on March 23.
