The New York Film Festival, a cultural cornerstone in both the film industry and New York culture, is gearing up for its 61st annual celebration. Although the festival awards no prizes, a film being chosen for a showing is considered an honor. NYFF recently released their full lineup of films for the upcoming celebration.
“The unsettled state of the industry is an unavoidable talking point these days, but my hope is that our festival, as it has done through its 61-year history, will serve as a reminder that the art of cinema is in robust health,” said Dennis Lim, the artistic director of NYFF. He continued, “The filmmakers in this year’s Main Slate are grappling with eternal questions—about how movies relate to the world, about what it means to make art from life, about the most interesting ways to approach the contemporary moment and the historical past—and the answers they have proposed are thrilling in their variety, ingenuity, and urgency.”
The New York Film Festival will be held this year between September 29 and October 15.
