Two Film Festivals Kick Off in New York This Week

The New York Film Festival began Friday and runs through October 12th. The New York Film Festival, presented by the Film Society of Lincoln Center, defines itself as a chance to take account of the state of film as art. Clint Eastwood’s The Changeling, starring Angelina Jolie, will make its U.S. premiere, on Saturday, October 4th. The festival’s centerpiece, Steven Soderbergh’s epic, Che, will premiere on October 7th. Closing the festival is Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler, which has already won acclaim at the Venice Film Festival and The Toronto International Film Festival.

What separates NYFF from other fests is that they do not present awards to any of the films but rather present a curated group of thought-provoking films. Of course the festival does include several panels including an interesting panel on the state of film criticism that took place Saturday. You can see a full schedule of events and get ticket information here.

The Woodstock Film Festival starts tomorrow in Woodstock, NY. This year’s festival has an impressive schedule packed with panels, upcoming films, and music events. In addition, they are presenting the Maverick Award to Kevin Smith this weekend. For ticket information, see the WFF website.

One of our readers, Diva, caught Bone Deep and Heroes filming in LA last week! She saw Bone Deep on 9/21, “Matt Dillon, Chris Brown and TI were all shooting different scenes on various streets that weekend. Sadly, no meeting or autographs that weekend either. Security is tough for that movie! Photos were actually not even allowed, but I worked around that…. lol Security got their way with the Chris scene though (they were extra mean and diligently watching us during his scene!), my camera was having issues, so I resorted to cell phone pics.” great information for anyone wanting to check out Bone Deep!

She also saw them film a scene for Heroes on Sunday. They filmed a scene where villain, Daphne (Brea Grant), gives a crazy look at a bike messenger, making him crash into a taxi. Thanks so much to Diva! Here are the pics:
