b'Last year\\u2019s hybrid New York Film Festival was an oasis amid the movie desert of the pandemic, but we sorely missed seeing the selections in the dark of Film at Lincoln Center\\u2019s theaters. So we were overjoyed when a \\u201credux\\u201d version of the festival was announced for this summer, with much of the 2020 lineup playing on the big screen.\\xa0To dig into the highlights of this encore edition and the films that must be seen big (or seen again,) we sat down with FLC programmer Dan Sullivan and curator and critic Steve Macfarlane. We discussed some underseen gems from the Revivals section, including William Klein\\u2019s Muhammad Ali: The Greatest\\xa0and Marie-Claude Treilhou\\u2019s Simone Barbes or Virtue,\\xa0and went long on Paul Felten and Joe DeNardo\\u2019s Slow Machine and some standout episodes from Steve McQueen\\u2019s Small Axe anthology.'
