“Scary times call for scary movies,” said Madeline Whittle, Programmer at Film at Lincoln Center. “Given the innumerable existential crises that define our current cultural and political moment, it's no surprise that recent years have seen a resurgence of enthusiasm for art that shows us how to wrestle with fear, violence, and evil not as lofty philosophical abstractions, but via embodiment, emotion, and ambiance.
Few art forms can rival film's capacity not only to unsettle, frighten, and horrify, but also to reflect those feelings back to us, inviting us to better understand our own fear by participating in somebody else's. The filmmakers featured in this year's lineup have created work that brilliantly explodes the darkness, wrangling light, sound, and motion to terrifying, transcendent effect.”
Tickets for Film at Lincoln Center’s Scary Movies XIII program go on sale on July 16 at 13 p.m. ET, with early access for members on July 15 at 12 p.m. ET. For more information on the full lineup, and to purchase single tickets and all access passes, you can check out their website.
