New York Film Festival 62, September 27 – October 14, New York
RaMell Ross, McQueen, Almodóvar: New York Film Festival Returns with a Diverse Global Cinema Lineup
Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or-winning dramedy Anora and other Cannes prizewinners, such as Indian filmmaker Payal Kapadia’s All We Imagine as Light and Roberto Minervini’s first fictional film The Damned, will be featured at this year’s New York Film Festival.
The non-competitive showcase, now in its 62nd edition, will primarily take place at Lincoln Center from September 27 to October 14. However, this year’s festival has also announced partnerships with theaters across the other boroughs, from the Bronx and Staten Island, to Queens and Brooklyn.
The program includes 33 films from 24 countries, featuring 16 U.S. premieres, five North American premieres, and two world premieres: Robinson Devor’s Suburban Fury, a nonfiction portrait of would-be presidential assassin Sara Jane Moore, and Julia Loktev’s My Undesirable Friends: Part I — Last Air in Moscow, a documentary on the persistence of independent journalism in Putin’s Russia leading up to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The festival will open with RaMell Ross’s historical drama Nickel Boys, marking his debut in New York, while Steve McQueen’s Blitz, set in World War II London, will close the event. The centerpiece of the festival will be The Room Next Door, by veteran Spanish director Pedro Almodóvar, which will also premiere at the Venice Film Festival.
This year’s lineup includes new works from returning NYFF directors, such as David Cronenberg with The Shrouds, Alain Guiraudie with Misericordia, Mike Leigh with Hard Truths, and Paul Schrader with Oh, Canada. Several directors will make their festival debut, including RaMell Ross, Kapadia, and Brady Corbet with The Brutalist.
Many of these films, as written above, have or will have screened at Cannes, Berlinale, and Venice film festivals before making their way to New York. This is the case with the two Italian films being showcased: Minervini’s latest work, which won Best Director in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes and follows a group of volunteer Union soldiers during the American Civil War, and Luca Guadagnino’s Queer, based on the 1985 novel by William S. Burroughs. Set in 1940s Mexico City, the film follows an outcast American expat (Daniel Craig) who becomes infatuated with a younger man (Drew Starkey). For the first time, U.S. audiences will also have the opportunity to see Maria, the biopic about Maria Callas directed by Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larraín and co-produced by Lorenzo Mieli’s The Apartment (it was presented in Venice on Thursday).
