Hey New Yorkers! (and New York visitors), Don't miss the 3rd Annual New York Documentary Film Festival at the Anthology Film Archives, starting May 26th! Film Annex is a sponsor! New York Documentary Film Festival is part of an ongoing project of Festival dei Popoli, the oldest International Documentary Film Festival in Europe. It aims to broaden the audience for its rich collection of archival footage, as well as Italian documentaries in general. The festival opens on May 26th with a tribute to the award-winning Italian filmmaker Gianfranco Rosi with the US-Premiere of Below Sea Level. The film is an intimate portrait of a commune of outcasts living in the middle of the desert about 200 miles southeast of Los Angeles. The multi-awarded documentary received, among the others, the Venice Horizons Documentary Prize. The film is presented in the presence of the director. The five-days event will feature four programs of auteur documentaries, with a total of eighteen films depicting reality and history as filtered through the deeply personal aesthetics of very different directors.
