The 51st New York Film Festival is full of familiar faces. More than 20 filmmakers in this year’s Official Selection are returning to NYFF and some have had as many as six films in the festival before. Photographer David Godlis, who has been shooting NYFF for decades, went through some of his archive to find photos of these year’s filmmakers on their previous trips to Lincoln Center… and we have a feeling you’ll get a kick out of what he found!
