“So we ended up with this medium-length movie, and of course it made it difficult for European festivals. Basically, if it’s between, like, 20 minutes and 60 minutes, you can’t be programmed [Laughs] unless it’s, like, a special section. But we lucked out: Telluride and the New York Film Festival made room for it and it was kind of a miracle. Then, obviously, Janus from there took it on. I’m extremely grateful because I know it’s an unwieldy length and it’s hard to know exactly where to fit, but maybe sometimes something works.” Nathan Silver talks with @all_the_tired_horses about his wonderful short Carol & Joy, now streaming on the Criterion Channel.
