This month and subsequent, the rep calendar is especially full of gems, so Film Comment Editor Devika Girish invited filmmaker, critic, and archivist Gina Telaroli, movie scholar Benjamin Crais, and Film Comment’s Assistant Editor Michael Blair to highlight among the unmissable collection on view proper now or on the horizon. 

The group mentioned a program at Anthology Film Archives devoted to uncommon tales about immigration, which options Kidlat Tahimik’s Seventies basic Perfumed Nightmare (5:56); a collection on the Asia Society that pairs movies from India’s Parallel, or arthouse, cinema motion with classics of Bollywood (16:39); and upcoming retrospectives and screenings of the works of Luc Moullet at Film at Lincoln Center and Anthology (32:00). In addition they mirrored on the state of repertory moviegoing in New York extra broadly—together with the admittedly enviable downside of too many issues occurring similtaneously properly as what it means to see works made defiantly exterior of institutional constructions at august establishments.
