Screen Slate has once again invited Nicolas Rapold to guest edit its third annual Best of the Year poll, as voted on by our own contributors along with other programmers, critics, artists and filmmakers.
We also asked respondents to submit “new-to-me” first viewings and discoveries. We're pleased to have received responses from the directors of some of our favorite releases and festival premieres of 2022, including Elegance Bratton, Davy Chou, Ricky D'Ambrose, Daniel Goldhaber, Owen Kline, Sierra Pettengill, João Pedro Rodrigues, Cyril Schäublin, Paul Schrader, Martine Syms, and Kit Zauhar, along with many other artists and filmmakers. Even Béla Tarr got in on it this year!
