News and Screenings

Three short films, all on the subject of
smartphones and wireless connectivity in culture and society, will debut today
as the New Yorker Festival gets under way. The shorts will be posted on YouTube and promoted on the
magazine’s website and social channels in coming weeks. (See below for full
video.)

Each film is based on a smartphone-related cover of the magazine. They were
produced by TNY Studio, the magazine’s business-side production outfit, along
with Condé Nast Entertainment.

In the first film, emerging sci-fi/fantasy filmmaker Emily Carmichael uses hand-drawn animation for The Enchanted Forest, in which the
heroine wields her smartphone against enemies both real and imagined. The
second film, Screen Time, is by Peter Huang, who has made the festival rounds with 5 Films About Technology. It
looks at the role of technology in our lives through the experience of a
modern suburban family. In the last film, City Symphony, Oscar-nominated and
Emmy-winning British documentarian Lucy Walker visits a pool on Manhattan’s Lower East Side and portrays the community hub
it offers to all walks of life over the arc of a day.
