Several different summer film festivals have been in motion recently, and we have the scoop on both Miami’s Third Horizon festival and the special in-person “do-over” for last year’s New York Film Festival. We have both a review of a new documentary about No Wave musician Lydia Lunch and an interview with its director, Beth B. Plus reviews of movies about sex work, a vital but forgotten Black musical festival, a heist gone wrong, and more. Enjoy!
PS: Hyperallergic staff will be taking a much-needed break next week. While there won’t be any new articles, keep an eye out for some specially curated newsletters throughout the week!
