New Directors New Films - how about an Iranian Vampire movie?

Ana Lily Amirpour Director of A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT 

 

Well actually you already missed it.  "A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night", the Opening Night Iranian vampire movie, directed by Ana Lily Amanpour (above) was a very cool black & white film about well, a girl walking home alone at night. But don't F with her. Yes Iranian. Yes vampires. Yes subtitles. Deal with it.  It opens locally in June. (until then you can go see Jarmusch's new Vampire movie, "Only Lovers Left Alive".  

But there's still 10 days of cool new films to try out. Here's the link to MOMA/FSLC's NDNF website. I highly recommend picking up a ticket for the centerpiece film "Obvious Child" - raunchy girl comedian rom com with lots of self deprecating vagina and jewish jokes starring Jenny Slate. Also the closing night film - Nick Cave documentary -"20,000 Days on Earth" is well worth seeing. Also "The Babadook", an Australian horror movie plays tomorrow night. And the Hubert Sauper doc "We Come As Friends" is very good. I hear good things about Anja Marquartdt's "She's Lost Control", Justin Simien's "Dear White People", and Richard Ayode's "The Double".  if anything's sold out, there's usually a very good shot at standing room tickets. So get up to MOMA and the Film Society at Lincoln Center & be the first one on your block...
