A couple notes: The website for the NYFF is at //www.filmlinc.com,
which doesn't have a schedule up, but does tell us that
ticket sales to the public begin September 8 (Sunday) 
at noon, and  that  a full-page ad with all details will be 
in that Sunday's NY Times.

Here's the catch. The NY Film Festival is a notoriously tough
ticket, and what goes on sale to the public is the leftover
after Lincoln Center members take advantage of their prerogative.

For the benefit of Who Non-Evil-list members, indulge this repeat of
a section:
