A Curator
Ngozi Adeyemi
Contemporary world cinemaMati Diop, Joanna Hogg, Charlotte Wells, Alice Rohrwacher, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Bi Gan, Payal Kapadia — work mostly from the last decade
"I am the youngest Curator on this bench, which is a thing I notice. The films I send are mostly recent — work from the past ten years, often by directors making their second or third feature. I think we are in a remarkable period for cinema even though it is mostly remarkable in places streaming services do not bother to find."
"Mati Diop, Charlotte Wells, Alice Rohrwacher, Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Bi Gan, Payal Kapadia, Hlynur Pálmason. The films I send are the ones I would have sent you last month if you had asked me last month. I update."
— Ngozi
From recent slates
From Charlotte Wells, her first feature. A father and a daughter on a holiday in Turkey. The film is about a memory of the holiday. I cannot describe it more than that without breaking it.
Apichatpong Weerasethakul. Patient and strange in a way that he has made his own. There is a scene with a fish that I would like you to encounter on your own.
From Payal Kapadia, who is one of two or three filmmakers under forty I would tell anyone to watch. The film is about Bombay, and about young women, and about the night.
