Scott Foundas Leaving LA Weekly

Los Angeles is losing film critic Scott Foundas – he is moving to New York to become associate program director for The Film Society of Lincoln Center. Foundas currently works as the film editor of the LA Weekly. Variety has more details:

Foundas, who reviewed hundreds of films for Variety between 2000 and 2005, will begin in his new post at the start of the year with responsibilities for series and event programs including the New York Film Festival.

“Scott’s writing is an exhilarating dialogue with artists and audiences alike,” said exec director Mara Manus. “It is this vibrancy, along with Scott’s deep film knowledge, that will contribute greatly to our growing organization, ensuring we continue to offer (audiences) a vital place of serious film culture.”
