New York African Film Festival April 7-13 Tickets on sale now! Under the banner theme “Independent Africa,” the 17th New York African Film Festival spotlights 17 African nations as they observe 50 years of independence from colonial rule: Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Cote D’Ivoire (Ivory Coast), DR Congo, Gabon, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Somalia and Togo. Independently produced contemporary and classic African cinema provides a visual narrative that chronicles the changes throughout the continent over a 50-year period. Complementing this edition’s theme, the program also includes rare archival footage of African nations as they transitioned from colonial rule. Rounding out the festival are films that highlight the World Cup, which this year will be hosted by South Africa. Bearing Witness: The Films of Bahman Ghobadi April 14 & 15 Tickets on sale: Thu March 25 With his very first film, the remarkable A Time for Drunken Horses, Bahman Ghobadi established himself as not only one of the most talented filmmakers in his generation but also one of the most courageous. In works that consistently defy expectations, his characters seem almost natural rebels against authority, demanding their own space in a society that seeks to overwhelm them. We’re delighted to welcome the director and his co-writer, journalist Roxana Saberi, to the Walter Reade Theater for this mid-career retrospective of his work. NORTHERN EXPOSURES Social Change and Sexuality in Swedish Cinema, 1913-2010 April 16 to May 4 Tickets on sale: Thu April 1 There’s much more to Swedish cinema than Ingmar Bergman! An extraordinary 40-plus film survey of a rich, eclectic national cinema spans from witty, thoroughly modern silent comedies to Ingrid Bergman’s breakthrough film, from dark suspense to insightful dramas (and, yes, Wild Strawberries!). It’s also a chronicle of a pioneering social democracy—at the vanguard of social change and sexual openness. Showing alongside the survey will be recent films including work by the director of Let the Right One In and prizewinning Sundance charmer The King of Ping Pong. Plus: Meet the Programmer.
