New York Film Festival (NYFF) has unveiled its 60th anniversary edition Main Slate, a roster that includes latest work by imprisoned Iranian auteur Jafar Panahi, Park Chan-wook, Joanna Hogg, Todd Field, Kelly Reichardt and Claire Denis.
As previously announced, Noah Baumbach’s White Noise and Elegance Bratton’s The Inspection bookend the festival, Laura Poitras’s documentary All The Beauty And The Bloodshed is the Centrepiece screening and James Gray’s Armageddon Time is the NYFF 60th Anniversary Celebration screening.
“If there is one takeaway from this year’s Main Slate, it is cinema’s limitless capacity for renewal,” said NYFF artistic director Dennis Lim. “Collectively, the films in the programme suggest that this renewal takes many forms: breathtaking debuts, veterans pulling off new tricks, filmmakers of all stripes 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.”
