“The disorientation and uncertainty of this tough year had the effect of returning us to core principles,” said Dennis Lim, Director of Programming for NYFF. “To put it simply, the Main Slate is our collective response to one central question: which films matter to us right now? Movies are neither made nor experienced in a vacuum, and while the works in our program predate the current moment of crisis, it’s striking to me just how many of them resonate with our unsettled present, or represent a means of transcending it. It has been a joy and a privilege to work with a brilliant, tireless programming team—the newly composed selection committee and our new team of advisors—and we are truly excited for audiences to discover and discuss these films.” 4 World Premieres. 9 films from Berlin 2020. 5 films from Venice 2020.4 films from Cannes 2020. 3 films from Sundance 2020. This year’s NYFF begins on September 17. You can bet that I’ll be covering it, albeit remotely, right after I am done with Fantasia and TIFF in September. An assessment of all four major fall film festivals will be posted shortly.
