Continuing series this day include Vittorio De Sica: Attore, Regista, Seduttore at Film Forum, Modern Matinees: In the Beginning at MoMA, and Hitchcocktober! at City Cinemas Village East. The moviola merriment as follows;

Hallo Stockahz! Welcome to the Pumpkin Spiced Latte Smoothie of the calendar year; October! And also to a genuinely pertinent question; HOW IN THE HELL DID IT GET TO BE OCTOBER '15 ALREADY?!?!?

Continuing series today includes Film School 101: Canon Fodder at IFC Center, the waning days of the fantastic Vittorio De Sica: Attore, Regista, Seduttore at Film Forum, and Interesting Women, Interesting Lives at BAM Cinématek. Stockah umbrellas, ACTIVATE!

Ahoy Stockahz! Welcome back to my coverage of the 53rd Annual New York Film Fest: Hurricane Edition! It was indeed a blustery day out there yesterday, and today promises only even more bluster, which Lincoln Center is well used to but not of the natural weather variety. I was lucky enough to enjoy the privilege of a second visit to the Film Society's yearly celebration of the best of cinema old and new.

New and continuing series this day include Film School 101: Canon Fodder at IFC Center, the waning week of Vittorio De Sica: Attore, Regista, Seduttore at Film Forum, Modern Matinees: In the Beginning at MoMA, Interesting Women, Interesting Lives at BAM Cinématek, the always highly-anticipated Revivals portion of the New York Film Festival, and the eternally sah-wank Cabaret Cinema at the Rubin Museum. The kino kookookery be thus;

Hallo Stockahz! Back from my first day up at The Film Society's annual celebration of the best of cinema new and old. The latter, of course, being my preoccupation.

Last night I was lucky enough to attend an unspooling, a genuine unspooling mind ya, of a restored 35mm print of what might be the great Ernst Lubitsch's final great film; 1943's HEAVEN CAN WAIT...

Apologies Stockahz. Due to a last minute and uncorrectable snafu I was unable to co-ordinate with the good folks at Lincoln Center in order to attend last nite's unveiling of the new DCP of Brian De Palma's BLOW OUT. It's probably for the best, though, as the urge to point at the screen and shout "J'ACCUSE!" wouldv'e probably been too great. Hey, I kid because I loathe.

Rest assured that I will be attending most of the upcoming Revivals slate at the Film Fest. So keep an eye out for my posts both filmed and typed! Curse you October, you are merely Winter's wicked emissary, but I will brave your barbarously unseasonable weather for this wonderful opportunity to take in two hours or more of some of the medium's finest works and their accompanying in-person ambassadors. Upper West Side, here I come!

New and continuing series this day include Vittorio De Sica: Attore, Regista, Seduttore at Film Forum, Modern Matinees: In the Beginning at MoMA, and Revivals at the 53rd annual NewYork Film Fest. The zoopraxiscope zaniness be thus;

Stockahz! That time of year has rolled about once more! The annual celebration of film both old and new, DCP and celluloid, foreign and domestic, the slate that sets the table for Oscar season, arguably the world's most-beloved gathering of cinema and the people who craft it second only to Cannes. And that's only because the wine's not as swell.

Pickin's be meager this increasingly humid hurricane season end-of-September day , but they are all fine representations of the form. The lone series screening today include Vittorio De Sica: Attore, Regista, Seduttore at Film Forum, and Ingrid Bergman at BAM at BAM. Bring an umbrella;

Continuing series this day include the waning calendar pages of both Vittorio De Sica: Attore, Regista, Seduttore at Film Forum and Ingrid Bergman at BAM at, um, BAM, See it Big: New York on Film! at Museum of the Moving Image, and This is Celluloid: 35mm Encore! at Anthology Film Archives.
