Indiewire’s Eric Kohn and Anne Thompson talk films and festivals and what it means for those films with regard to awards and commercial prospects. They discuss The Lost City of Z at The New York Film Festival at 17.29.  They debate the kind of a director they consider James Gray to be, how they don’t really know what to expect from the film, but more importantly they confirm that the film does not have a US distributor.  Although they do mention the fact that Plan B is involved is a good sign because of the quality of films that these producers are involved with. Miles Ahead was the last film to be shown at the New York Film Festival without a distributor and they immediately found one, but the film was released the following year.  According to Anne,  it will be interesting to see whether LCoZ is released in the Fall or is pushed back to Spring. Interesting listen in any event.
