An Announcement from NFF!
/
Dear Friends,
It is with much joy that we announce our new initiative, NFF NOW: AT HOME, an online film and conversation series taking place June 23-30, during the originally scheduled dates of the Festival. NFF NOW: AT HOME offers a selection of new feature-length and short films, plus In Their Shoes conversations - all accessible from the comfort and safety of your home. The film line-up will be announced on June 8th.
Feature-length narrative films, documentaries, and short film programs will be available for pass-holders to stream for the 8 days beginning June 23. The collection of films will include new features exploring the worlds of art, politics, music, comedy, and much more, with filmmaker Q&As for select presentations, as well as three shorts programs featuring fresh new voices.
NFF NOW: AT HOME will also present an In Their Shoes conversation with the legendary Norman Lear, the film and television writer/director/producer known for All in the Family, Maude, Good Times, The Jeffersons, Sanford and Son, and One Day at a Time. At 98, Mr. Lear is executive producing Season 3 of the reimagined One Day at a Time and a third installment of the Emmy-winning Live! In Front of a Studio Audience. He will join NPR’s Ophira Eisenberg to discuss his expansive body of work. Also included in this online program is an In Their Shoes conversation with the Academy Award-winning screenwriter of Forrest Gump, Eric Roth, about his newest films, including Dune with Timothée Chalamet, Jason Momoa, Zendaya, and Josh Brolin and Killers of the Flower Moon, to be directed by Martin Scorsese and starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert DeNiro. More conversations to be announced.
While we look forward immensely to seeing everybody in person on Nantucket for the Nantucket Film Festival in June of 2021, we are so very pleased to be able to bring NFF NOW: AT HOME to you, our loyal supporters, this summer. On with the show!
