It is quite possible that this year we will not see any film as enamored with the power of words as this one. A Day with Peter Hujar It recreates the conversations this photographer had with Linda Rosenkrantz over the course of a single day in 1974. Rosenkrantz's idea was for this intense conversation to be part of a collection of interviews chronicling 24 hours in the lives of different artists in 1970s New York. But despite being recorded, the encounter with Hujar took a long time to be published: it wasn't released as a book until 2021.

The Film Library welcomed one of the season's most distinguished visitors this Tuesday: Ira Sachs (Memphis, 1965) is an indispensable name in independent cinema of recent decades, a director who has been able to portray torrid passions in Passages (2023) or Keep the lights on (2012) but also the impact on our lives of more mundane issues such as being forced to change flats (Love is strange, 2014) or the difficulty of managing material and emotional inheritances (Summer in Brooklyn, from 2016).
