Film at Lincoln Center has appointed Daniel Battsek as its new president, following Lesli Klainberg's departure. Battsek, previously chairman of Film4, noted the unique cultural prominence film holds in New York City compared to other places. His leadership will be crucial during a time when the film industry is struggling to regain audiences post-pandemic, facing stiff competition from streaming services. Battsek’s passion for cinema being paralleled with other art forms illustrates his vision for reinforcing film's role in New York's artistic community.
Battsek's centrality in film reflects a commitment to elevating cinema in New York, where it stands shoulder to shoulder with opera and theater.
As the film industry faces an audience decline, Battsek aims to rejuvenate the cultural significance of cinema within the competitive landscape of entertainment.
