MoMA The Museum of Modern Art says…

In a city brimming with strong film festivals, New Directors/New Films still emerges as one of the most important annual cinematic programs — a heady mixture of domestic independents and international fare that likely won't receive other US distribution. This year's lineup is especially intriguing, particularly We Live in Public, Ondi Timoner's Sundance Grand Prize-winning documentary about the strange rise and fall of Internet maven Josh Harris; and the Italian Pranzo di Ferragosto, directed by and starring Gianni di Gregorio, the screenwriter of Gomorrah, as a man entrusted with the care of both his and his landlord's aging mothers.
