Dear Readers,

It is with great excitement that FILM COMMENT begins a new chapter in our history. As some of you may have already read, I have been named Editor of FILM COMMENT, and Michael Koresky has been named Editorial Director of the Film Society of Lincoln Center. For years I’ve had the privilege of working alongside our spectacular current editorial team—Managing Editor Laura Kern and Digital Editor Violet Lucca—and all of us could not possibly be more pleased to be working with Michael (who’s in fact an alum of the magazine). FILM COMMENT is already hard at work on expanding and deepening our coverage, maintaining the high standards of film criticism which you’ve come to expect over the past 50-plus years, and developing new ways of sharing the fruits of our labors with you. Other than shouting from the rooftops—and asking you to keep an eye out for our forthcoming May/June issue—we’ll leave it at that for now. Suffice to say that the best is yet to come!

Sincerely,
Nicolas Rapold
Editor
FILM COMMENT
