The New York Film Festival has announced the lineup for its Projections section, running from October 6 through 9: Eight features and eight shorts programs, fifty-one films in all. The Film Society of Lincoln Center notes that eighteen works will screen on 16 mm, “including all thirteen of this year’s repertory selections, which showcase the work of experimental cinema pioneers Barbara Hammer and Mike Henderson, preserved by the Academy Film Archive.”

The Mike Henderson Program “thrums with a sociopolitical, humorous sensibility that lends his small-scale, often musically kissed portraits (which he later dubbed ‘blues cinema’) a personal, artisanal quality.” MONEY, Dufus (aka Art), The Shape of Things, The Last Supper, When & Where, Down Hear, Mother’s Day, and Pitchfork and the Devil.
