There’s even more to discover at this year’s New York Film Festival with the introduction of Explorations, a new section featuring bold selections from the vanguard of contemporary cinema. Explorations is devoted to work from around the world, from filmmakers across the spectrum of experience and artistic sensibility. Some films are delicate, others more forceful; some are contemplative and some dive directly into the heart of their material. The one quality that they share is that they are adventurous and exploratory, in the very best sense of the word.

The duo of acclaimed jazz guitarist Oscar Peñas and pianist Frank Carlberg blends the precision of classical music and the energy of jazz with original compositions with Iberian influences. It is the smallest particle of an interactive group, an intimate setting where every note and musical nuance of a dialogue between two musicians is completely exposed and close to the audience.
