Julia Ducournau’s Palme d’Or winner Titane, Paul Verhoeven’s Benedetta and Jonas Poher Rasmussen’s Sundance hit Flee are among selections on New York Film Festival’s (NYFF) main slate.
The line-up, announced on Tuesday (August 10), includes Radu Jude’s Berlin Golden bear winner Bad Luck Banging Or Loony Porn, Ryûsuke Hamaguchi’s Cannes selection Drive My Car that topped Screen’s jury grid during the festival, and Rebecca Hall’s directing debut and Sundance entry Passing.
The 59th New York Film Festival (NYFF) runs September 24-October 10 as a primarily in-person event alongside select outdoor and virtual events. Staff, audiences and filmmakers at festival venues will be required to show proof of vaccination. There will be no virtual screenings this year.
As previously announced Joel Coen’s The Tragedy Of Macbeth will open the festival, Jane Campion’s The Power Of The Dog is the centrepiece selection, and Pedro Almodóvar’s Parallel Mothers will close the event.
