Connu pour sa sélection non compétitive de la crème de la crème (en français dans le texte) des longs métrages glanés dans les festivals du monde entier, le 48e Festival du Film de New York (24 sept-10 oct) présentera en avant programme de certains de ces films neuf courts métrages dont les dernières œuvres de l’iranien Jafar Panahi et de l’américain Jonathan Caouette, auteur de « Tarnation ». Un peu invisibles sur le site du festival, Format Court s’est donné pour mission de les réunir ici et en anglais, s’il vous plait !
