    NEW YORK (AP) --

    Lincoln Center will host a tribute to the late documentary filmmaker Albert Maysles during the upcoming New York Film Festival.

    The Film Society of Lincoln Center announced Monday that the event, co-hosted by the Maysles family, will take place October 4 at Alice Tully Hall. Maysles will be celebrated with in-person guests, clips from his work and special attention to his work with Maysles Documentary Center, the Harlem nonprofit he co-founded.

    Maysles died in March at the age of 88. His 60-year career spanned seminal documentaries of so-called "direct cinema," including "Gimme Shelter," ''Grey Gardens" and "Salesman."

    The 53rd New York Film Festival begins Friday.

    American Film Market will return to Los Angeles

    The American Film Market is coming back to Los Angeles for its 46th edition (November 11-16, 2025). Last year’s AFM® detoured to Las Vegas but now the event will return to L.A., shifting from its former Santa Monica roost to a new venue--the Fairmont Century Plaza in Century City, ideally situated just minutes from Beverly Hills, West Hollywood and Westwood, and next door to the AMC Century City 15 for screenings.

    In the aftermath of the recent devastating fires in the L.A. area, the decision to again hold AFM in Southern California takes on an added significance. The business generated by the event can contribute to the economy of a city (where AFM started) that is a vital hub of the industry.

    Over the decades, AFM has evolved from solely a transactional space into an essential event where industry leaders come together to launch the latest films and projects, assess the marketplace, share insights, and stay abreast of the rapid changes shaping the business.

    Details about exhibition opportunities, registration, and the event’s agenda will be available shortly.
