The fall festival circuit has taken cinephiles from Italy (for the Venice International Film Festival) back to America (for the Telluride Film Festival) and then to the Great White North (for TIFF), and now it returns Stateside for the New York Film Festival.

This year's 61st edition of the NYFF includes new works from Oscar-nominated filmmakers Ryûsuke Hamaguchi, Agnieszka Holland, Yorgos Lanthimos, Alice Rohrwacher, and Wim Wenders, alongside the likes of Jonathan Glazer, Andrew Haigh, Aki Kaurismäki, Justine Triet, and more. "The unsettled state of the industry is an unavoidable talking point these days," said festival artistic director Dennis Lim, "but my hope is that our festival, as it has done through its 61-year history, will serve as a reminder that the art of cinema is in robust health."

This year's NYFF opens with a screening of Todd Haynes' May December, starring Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore, and closes with Michael Mann's Adam Driver and Penélope Cruz-starrer, Ferrari. Oscar winner Sofia Coppola's Priscilla will serve as the festival's Centerpiece screening.

When and where is this year's festival?

The 61st New York Film Festival will take place from September 29 through October 15, with screenings at Lincoln Center and in venues in all five boroughs of New York City.

Which films are screening at NYFF?

NYFF's Main Slate comprises a number of holdovers from Cannes — including this year's Palme d'Or winner Anatomy of a Fall and Grand Prix winner The Zone of Interest — and Berlin (the Silver Bear-winning Music). Coming on the heels of the Venice Film Festival, NYFF will also host North American premieres of Sofia Coppola's Priscilla, Michael Mann's Ferrari, and more.

This year's Main Slate includes 32 films from 18 different countries, as well as a newly-restored short film directed by the late Agnès Varda and starring filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini. Pier Paolo Pasolini – Agnès Varda – New York – 1967 was shot during the 4th New York Film Festival and, more than 50 years later, makes its North American debut.
