The 30 features include new films by Lisandro Alonso, Asia Argento, Olivier Assayas, Nick Broomfield, Pedro Costa, David Cronenberg, Jean-Pierre & Luc Dardenne, Abel Ferrara, Jean-Luc Godard, Hong Sang-soo, Mike Leigh, Mia Hansen-Løve, Bennett Miller, Oren Moverman, Alex Ross Perry, Alain Resnais, Alice Rohrwacher, Josh & Benny Safdie and more.
“Sometimes the sheer breadth of cinema amazes me,” said NYFF Director and Selection Committee Chair Kent Jones. “In this year’s lineup, we have great big films alongside films made on the most intimate scale — personal epics and intricately constructed chamber pieces, films of great serenity and films that leave you dazed, first films and last films, all equally vivid, alive, and essential. Taken altogether, this year’s Main Slate reminds me, all over again, why I love the cinema so much, and it will do the same for you.”
The selection committee, chaired by Kent Jones, also includes Dennis Lim, FSLC Director of Programming; Marian Masone, FSLC Senior Programming Advisor; Gavin Smith, Editor-in-Chief, Film Comment; and Amy Taubin, Contributing Editor, Film Comment and Sight & Sound.
NYFF previously announced the retrospective “Joseph L. Mankiewicz: The Essential Iconoclast,” as well as initial selections in NYFF Convergence and the Revivals section, including “Burroughs: The Movie,” “The Color of Pomegranates,” “Hiroshima, Mon Amour” and “Once Upon a Time in America.”
