Matt Bolish, who has been a staff member of Film at Lincoln Center since 2011, has been promoted to the newly created position of managing director of the New York Film Festival.
In his new post, Bolish will team with artistic director Dennis Lim, who oversees programming and curation, to produce the event. The move addresses a staffing void left by Eugene Hernandez, who departed last year as NYFF executive director after a 12-year run at Flc to become director of the Sundance Film Festival.
Along with the executive news, Flc said the 61st edition of the festival will be held from September 29 to October 15.
Bolish had been VP of operations at Flc, the festival’s presenting organization, and also had served as producer of NYFF since 2016.

As with many veterans of the Film Society of Lincoln Center, which is being renamed Film at Lincoln Center to mark its 50th Anniversary this week, longtime former executive director Joanne Koch has some stories to tell.
“We tried to get Katharine Hepburn at the Chaplin Gala, and she wrote me and said she’d rather go to the South Pole,” Koch laughs. “But when we honored George Cukor in 1978, she was very nervous, but she came — and the audience went crazy.”
So did the Lincoln Center board chairman George Weissman in 1989, but for another reason. “The New York Film Festival was showing ‘Roger and Me,’ which attacked General Motors, a substantial donor to Lincoln Center. I remember [George] saying, ‘Are you really going to show this film?’ I said yes, and we did.”
Longtime former program director and Nyff selection committee chairman Richard Peña has a slightly different memory of the screening.

The Film Society of Lincoln Center has unveiled the complete lineup for its forward-thinking Convergence section of the 56th New York Film Festival, set to take place October 11 – 14.

I’m sitting deep inside the bowels of the Elinor Bunin Monroe Film Center on West 65th Street. The Story Hack got off to a friendly start around 10:00 this morning with an orientation by Aina Abiodun, Mike Knowlton, and Film Society of Lincoln Center Executive Director Rose Kuo. We made sure everyone was on the same page and were told our final wild card, the Emily Dickinson quote “Fortune befriends the bold,” which has to be included in every hack. Aina’s opening thoughts also laid down the gauntlet when she said that our work in these 24 hours would initiate the growth of transmedia as much as anything else happening right now. It’s a bold claim — the hack’s theme is courage, after all — but when you think about it, she’s probably right. Not only is it a fantastic experience for each of the participants,...
