“This year, we are pleased to highlight several emerging filmmakers, with many fantastic debut and second films in a range of styles\u2014from political thriller and bleak comedy to observational documentary,” said Film Society of Lincoln Center Programmer at Large Rachael Rakes. “Furthermore, half of the works on this year’s slate are directed or co-directed by women, who have been critically underrepresented in the region previously.”<\/p>\n

Opening Night is the New York premiere of Joaqu\u00edn del Paso’s feature debut Panamerican Machinery<\/strong>, a Bu\u00f1uelian satire that takes place behind the locked doors of a dysfunctional factory in Mexico City. Shot on expired film stock, del Paso’s film strikes its absurdist tone with deliberately dated, hazy visuals, courtesy of first-time cinematographer Fredrik Olsson. Closing the festival is the U.S. premiere of New Directors\/New Films 2015 alumnus Lukas Rinner’s (Parabellum) second film, A Decent Woman<\/strong>, in which a deadpan maid finds liberation by joining a camp of nudists located near the home she cleans.<\/p>\n

Other highlights in this year’s lineup include the North American premiere of Laura Huertas Mill\u00e1n’s Black Sun<\/strong>, an intimate portrait of the filmmaker’s aunt as she battles drug addiction and reflects upon her career as an opera singer; Lina Rodriguez’s This Time Tomorrow<\/strong>, a quiet coming-of-age story in which the “fragile changeability of family life is beautifully and painfully captured” (Variety); a 50th anniversary screening of Brazilian auteur Glauber Rocha’s Cinema Novo masterwork Terra em Transe<\/strong>; and more.<\/p>\n
