New York Film Festival (September 26-October 13) has announced the main slate for its 63rd edition, with Kleber Mendonça Filho’s The Secret Agent, Kathryn Bigelow’s A House Of Dynamite, and Kelly Reichardt’s The Mastermind on the roster.
Radu Jude’s Kontinental ’25, Claire Denis’ The Fence, Kent Jones’s Late Fame, and Bi Gan’s Resurrection are also in the 34-strong line-up, alongside Ulrich Köhler’s Gavagai – a metacinema centred on a production of Medea – one of two world premieres in selection alongside Bradley Cooper’s previously announced closing night film Is This Thing On?
As also previously announced, the festival will open with the North American premiere of Luca Guadagnino’s After The Hunt starring Julia Roberts, and the centrepiece selection is Jim Jarmusch’s Father Mother Sister Brother.
NYFF artistic director Dennis Lim said: “Anyone who cares about film knows that it is an art in need of defending, like many of our core values today. Across all sections of the festival, the movies we have selected this year suggest that this safeguarding can take many guises: acts of rejuvenation and refusal, expressions of unease and joy, feats of imagination and commemoration.”
Currents, Spotlight, Revivals, and Talks sections will be announced in the coming weeks.
