The 64th New York Film Festival has scheduled Pedro Almodóvar and Sofia Coppola for a 60-minute conversation at 3 p.m. on October 5 at the Walter Reade Theater. Film at Lincoln Center lists the event as a ticketed talk.
The program connects two festival selections concerned with artistic creation. Almodóvar’s Main Slate film Bitter Christmas follows filmmakers drawing on personal lives, while Making Marie Antoinette uses footage shot by Eleanor Coppola and completed after her death by Sofia Coppola to revisit the making of the 2006 film.
The announced discussion will address gender, memory, intimate relationships and the shifting line between fact and fiction. Attendees should use the official event page to confirm same-day ticket availability before traveling.
