Something like a First Look 2022 Curtain Raiser

 


The Museum of The Moving Images annual First Look Festival starts this week and if you can get to Astoria I suggest you go because they are running a bunch of really great films.

The Annual Fest highlights well regarded films from around the world that are due to hit American theaters and streaming services before they make a big splash. The fest is a kind of like being a Congressperson given secret information and turning it to their advantage. However where the Congressmen would make millions in a shady deal,  you’ll end up making your friends jealous by being ahead of the curve on some great films. I say that’s just as big a win. 

But I digress.


The fest is running from March 16 to 20 and it is full of great films- for example

PETROV'S FLU- one day in the life of a family. It's a great genre mixing delight

OLD NEW PLAY- The history of China as theater. Just buckle up and enjoy

VENGEANCE IS MINE, ALL THERS PAY CASH-Genre bending film is everything I love aboutthe movie. One of the best films of 2022

BABI YAR.CONTEXT -the stry of a masscre told in archival ftage. It will rock your world

There are others of course but thse should get you started.

Do yourself make plans, buy tickets and go. All the information you need is here.
