So, I’m a day behind, sorry. But if you don’t subscribe to Charlie Suisman’s MUG, yesterday was a perfect example of why you should. Thanksfully, the daily newsletter is just a copy of what gets posted to the site, and yesterday’s entry of New York area film festivals is quite comprehensive: a month-by-month listing of what must be almost every film festival taking place in the city including the big ones (New Directors/New Films, GenArt, Tribeca, New York), but also smaller and even obscure ones such as this week’s New York Jewish Film Festival, March’s New York Underground Film Festival, May’s Bicycle Film Festival (for all you Critical Mass folk) and October’s Coney Island Film Festival. I’m sure he’s missing a few, and certainly places like the Walter Reade will have regularly programmed series (such as the ones focusing on new French and Italian cinema) that aren’t so different from these festivals, but this MUG entry is a good place to start if you want to find the breadth of what’s out there. Way to go, Charlie.
