"First Look, MoMI’s annual festival showcasing adventurous new cinema, returns for its 15th edition, offering a diverse slate of major New York premieres, discussions and panels, and fresh perspectives on the art and process of filmmaking. This year’s festival introduces New York audiences to works from around the world, encompassing feature and short films; fiction and nonfiction. The guiding ethos of First Look is openness, curiosity, discovery, aiming to expose audiences to new art, artists to new audiences, and everyone to different methods, perspectives, interrogations, and encounters. For two weekends the festival takes over MoMI’s two theaters—with in-person appearances and dialogue integral to the experience."–Museum of the Moving Image
