The Film Society of Lincoln Center has announced the 25-title Main Slate for its 54th New York Film Festival, a line-up that will offer East Coast film fans the opportunity to go to Cannes without the jetlag.
The slate is heavy on titles from May’s Cannes Film Festival, including Ken Loach’s Palme d’Or winner I, Daniel Blake; Critics’ Prize winner Toni Erdmann; Director’s Prize co-winners Personal Shopper (from Olivier Assayas — his second film starring Kristen Stewart, pictured above) and Graduation (from Christian Mungiu); and Paterson and Julieta, by (respectively) Jim Jarmusch and Pedro Almodóvar, both frequent visitors to Cannes and NYFF.
Other titles of note include Sundance faves Manchester by the Sea and Certain Women , Paul Verhoeven’s Elle, and Mia Hansen-Løve’s Things to Come / L’Avenir. They will join the previously announced Opening Night film, Ava DuVernay’s The 13th, Centerpiece selection 20th Century Women from Mike Mills (Beginners), and Closing Night film Lost City of Z by James Gray (The Immigrant).
