This summer we kicked off our Film Comment Free Talks, a new series of conversations with filmmakers held at the Film Society of Lincoln Center. For the release of horror sensation\xa0Hereditary, we invited the film\u2019s director, Ari Aster, to come for a wide-ranging chat. The talk was moderated by FSLC Editorial Director Michael Koresky, who wrote of\xa0Hereditary\xa0in our May/June issue: \u201cWe are compelled by our family stories, but they are often constructed narratives, given to biases, subjectivities, fictions. If at times\xa0Hereditary\xa0feels more like an askew domestic melodrama than a horror movie, that\u2019s not accidental.\u201d Aster talks about his love of Ingmar Bergman, his fear of\xa0The Wiz, his next project, and the arduous road to staging a scene just so. Our next\xa0Film Comment Free Talk will take place on July 17 with director Boots Riley where he'll discuss his\xa0funny, scathing, weird, and audacious satire Sorry to Bother You.
