Alopnia, Alponia
The striking character-driven documentary Apolonia, Apolonia dives into the exhilarating lifestyle of a young French painter. Filmmaker Lea Glob’s intimate exploration of Apolonia Sokol’s creative pursuits and setbacks results in poignant and deeply-felt storytelling. | | Breaking the News
Breaking the News follows the determined efforts of women and LGBTQ+ journalists launching a news “startup” to foreground voices omitted from mainstream news. Filmmakers Hernandez, Courtney, and Hairston provide a deep look into bias and inclusion in the ever-shifting media landscape. Breaking the News is executive produced by NYWIFT members Ruth Ann Harnisch and Lois Vossen.
| | Panel: “The Changing Landscape of the News” Friday, June 9th, 12:30pm at the Indeed Lounge at Spring Studios *FREE WITH TICKET* | | Cold Copy
Eager to impress the esteemed-yet-cutthroat news reporter Diane Heger (Tracee Ellis Ross), ambitious journalism student Mia Scott (Bel Powley) desperately competes for her attention. With increasing pressure from Diane to outperform her peers, Mia finds a new angle for her latest story about an unsuspecting subject: precocious teen Igor Nowak (Jacob Tremblay). But her new approach involves manipulating his story — and the truth itself.
Cold Copy is executive produced by NYWIFT member Shivani Rawat | | The Gullspång Miracle
In Maria Fredriksson’s stranger-than-fiction documentary, two pious sisters buy an apartment after having witnessed a divine sign — only to realize that the seller of the apartment looks identical to their other sister, who committed suicide some 30 years before. | | The Listener
When evening sets in, Beth (Tessa Thompson) is one of many volunteers manning helplines to lend a kind ear to people in crisis. An understated drama about a night in the life of a mental health helpline volunteer, The Listener is a stirring testament to the power of empathy.
The Listener is co-produced by NYWIFT Board Member Joyce Pierpoline. | | And ... Now through June 30th NYWIFT is offering a discount on membership! | |

Directed by Mexican filmmaker Natalia Almada
Screening at the Brooklyn Academy of Music from June 9th-June 15th
*$5 OFF DISCOUNT CODE OFFER* | | Winner of the Directing Award: U.S. Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival, Natalia Almada's USERS begins with a mother’s question–will my children love the perfect machines more than they love me, their imperfect mother? She pushes the button and a smart crib lulls her crying baby to sleep, flawlessly every time. This question guides her inquiry into the intimate relationship we have with technology that is increasingly driving all aspects of our society. We explore the unintended and often dehumanizing consequences of our society's embedded belief that technological progress will lead to the betterment of humanity. Is technological progress inevitable? Are we all increasingly isolated? Do we really have agency to direct its course? Is technology an expression of our humanity or is technology destroying our humanity? The film will be a critical and intimate meditation on these questions.
Screens at BAM Rose Cinemas | 30 Lafayette Ave | Brooklyn, NY 11217
USE DISCOUNT CODE "USERS" FOR $5 OFF EACH TICKET
Natalia Almada will be present for a Q&A at the 7pm screening on June 9th and 10th
The opening will be coupled with a complete retrospective of the director's work | | WOMEN’S VOICES
