Jafar Panahi, Paul Schrader, Claire Denis, Hong Sangsoo, Mia Hansen-Løve and more are all on the main roster for this year’s New York Film Festival.
This year’s Main Slate at the 60th New York Film Festival is packed with can’t-miss auteur titles from festivals around the world. Presented by Film at Lincoln Center, the festival runs from September 30 through October 16 at Lincoln Center and venues across the city.
“If there’s one takeaway from this year’s Main Slate, it’s cinema’s limitless capacity for renewal,” said New York Film Festival Artistic Director Dennis Lim. “Collectively, the films on the program suggest that this revival takes many forms: stunning debuts, veterans pulling off new tricks, filmmakers of all persuasions seeking new and surprising forms of expression and representation. We love the range and eclecticism of this group of films and are excited to share it with audiences.
This year’s Main Slate showcases films produced in 18 different countries, with new titles from big-name authors, outstanding works from directors returning to the NYFF as well as those making their NYFF debuts, and famous films from festivals from around the world, including Cannes winners: Claire Denis’ “Stars at Noon”; Park Chan-wook’s “Decision to Leave”; Ruben Östlund’s Palme d’Or winner “Triangle of Sadness”; and Charlotte Wells’ feature debut, “Aftersun”, one of Cannes Critics’ Week favorites “Alcarràs” by Carla Simón received the Golden Bear at the 72nd Berlin Film Festival, and “All that Breathes by Shaunak Sen won the Grand Jury Prize in the World Cinema Documentary Competition at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and the Golden Eye for Best Documentary at Cannes.
