New York Film Festival 2023

Returning every fall to celebrate a new slate of essential cinema from around the globe, NYFF has been an enduring part of New York’s rich cultural and historical landscape since 1963. Produced by Film at Lincoln Center, the 61st edition will take place this year.

Todd Haynes’s May December will be the Opening Night selection, making its North American premiere at Alice Tully Hall on September 29th, and Michael Mann’s Ferrari will be the Closing Night selection, making its North American premiere on October 13th at Alice Tully Hall.

NYFF61 is comprised of five sections:

• Main Slate is the core of the program, a selection of the most exceptional new films from around the world.
• Currents complements the Main Slate, tracing a more complete picture of contemporary cinema with an emphasis on new and innovative forms and voices.
• Spotlight expands the vision of the Main Slate, showcasing a selection of the season’s most anticipated and significant films.
• Revivals showcases important works from renowned filmmakers that have been digitally remastered, restored, and preserved with the assistance of generous partners.
• Talks features in-depth conversations with filmmakers, critics, curators, and more.

NYFF61 will take place at Lincoln Center venues (Alice Tully Hall, David Geffen Hall, Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center, and Walter Reade Theater) as well as local arthouse theaters in all five boroughs of New York City: Alamo Drafthouse Cinema (Staten Island), BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) (Brooklyn), the Bronx Museum of the Arts (Bronx), Maysles Documentary Center in Harlem (Manhattan), and the Museum of the Moving Image (Queens).
