Film Diary NYC Presents: Building Steam with a Grain of Salt

On Friday, March 31st at 7pm, join us at the FMC Screening Room (475 Park Ave. South, 6th Floor) for “Building Steam with a Grain of Salt”, a program of diaristic films curated and presented by our friends at Film Diary NYC!

TICKETS

"Building Steam with a Grain of Salt" draws from FMC’s vast archive and beyond to survey transcendent, hauntingly intimate work by experimental filmmakers working in first-person, diaristic modes.

The program is curated by Saint Piñero and Sage Ó Tuama of Film Diary NYC, and features guest curator picks by film critic Joshua Minsoo Kim (Tone Glow, Pitchfork) and filmmakers Grace E. Mitchell and Jard Lerebours.
