L.A. Weekly Critic Scott Foundas Off to NYC: scott_foundas_ql.jpgFinally, a bit of good news concerning a critic leaving his job: L.A. Weekly film editor Scott Foundas was announced today as the new Associate Director of Programming at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, the body that each year hosts the New York Film Festival. Foundas has been on the NYFF selection committee since 2007 and has worked at L.A. Weekly since 2003; after new LAFF artistic director David Ansen, he is the second critic in a week to land a programming job with a major American film institution. And it couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Many congrats. [FSLC]
