New Directors, New Faces Gather at Gabriel's

On Thursday evening we all enjoyed a delicious buffet and cocktail reception at Gabriel's. The party was full of new faces from the second half of New Directors/New Films. Director Philippe Falardeau showed off his "Congorama" totebag (above). And at one point, we even had a very special guest photographer: the director of "Meanwhile," Diego Lerman!

The reception at Gabriel's was made possible by the generous support of Cineric.
