GOINGS ON ABOUT TOWN


NOVEMBER 11 – 17, 2020


In an effort to slow the spread of the coronavirus, many New York City venues are closed.
Here’s a selection of culture to be found around town, as well as online and streaming.

The Film Foundation, launched by Martin Scorsese in 1990, is dedicated to the restoration of acknowl-
edged classics and great rarities alike. An ongoing series of its offerings on the Criterion Channel begins,
this month, with thirty movies, including Ida Lupino’s film noir “The Bigamist,” Shirley Clarke’s jazz-
centric metafiction “The Connection,” Med Hondo’s drama “Soleil Ô,” about race relations in France,
and Lino Brocka’s political melodrama “Insiang” (pictured above), set in a slum neighborhood in Manila.
