A film is a kind of detour that leads us back to ourselves.

This is a report on the Tenth New York Film Festival, a collection of 24 films shown over a period of slightly more than two weeks (September 29 to October 14) in one of the smaller theatres of the Lincoln Center complex, 1,096-seat Alice Tully Hall. Although an unusually large number of films (10) were released in New York within days of their festival screenings, and several others can expect eventual American release, an equal number may never be seen in this country. Many of them will never be missed, but if past festivals are any indication, a few of the festival’s best films also fail to pick up distributors.
