“Anyone who cares about film knows that it is an art that needs to defend, like many of our core values today,” said NyFF artistic director Dennis Lim in a statement. “In all parts of the festival, the films that we have chosen this year indicate that this protection can take many guises: documents of rejuvenation and refusal, expressions of anxiety and joy, imagination and memory day are more than being more than what is more than what is more significant time.
Among the many other prominent filmmakers who show new work in the main slate are Kelly Reichardt (“The Mastermind”), Hong Sangsoo (“What does that nature say to you”), Claire Denis (“The Fence”), Pedro Pinho (“I rest only in storm”) and Lucrecia Martel (“Landmark (” Landmarks).
