At the New York Film Festival, Film Comment presents a series of talks that includes our reliably energizing and insightful conversation with a group of directors. Our 2018 Filmmakers Chat—posted for the first time now—featured a unique and invigorating mix of talents in a discussion about the art and craft (and anxieties and rewards) of making movies. I was honored and delighted to be joined at the Film Society of Lincoln Center by Louis Garrel, director of A Faithful Man; Jodie Mack, director of The Grand Bizarre; Alex Ross Perry, director of Her Smell; and Albert Serra, director of Roi Soleil.
