Founded in 1963, as the auteur theory and European cinematic modernism were crashing upon the shores of American film culture, the New York Film Festival continues to introduce audiences to the most exciting, innovative and accomplished works of world cinema. Join us as North America’s second oldest film festival marks its 52nd edition with 17 days of exciting world premieres, award winners, retrospective screenings, spotlights on emerging filmmakers, panels, galas and much more!
