Established in 2020\u2014and picking up where the late, lamented Projections section left off\u2014Currents is the New York Film Festival's home for films with more offbeat, experimental, or hybrid sensibilities. This year\u2019s lineup does not disappoint, with a selection of groundbreaking features and shorts from new and established filmmakers like Mat\xedas Pi\xf1eiro and Lois Pati\xf1o, Claire Simon, Kevin Jerome Everson, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, and many more.\n\nFor this conversation I sat down with critics Chloe Lizotte and Ela Bittencourt to highlight some of our favorites from the section, including Miguel Gomes and Maureen Fazendeiro\u2019s The Tsugua Diaries, Kiyoshi Sugita\u2019s Haruhara-san\u2019s Recorder, Kiro Russo\u2019s El gran movimiento, and Ted Fendt\u2019s Outside Noise, among other features and shorts. \n\nStay tuned for more coverage of this year\u2019s New York Film Festival, both on the podcast, and in the\xa0Film Comment Letter.\n\nhttps://www.filmcomment.com/newsletter-sign-up/
