Celebrating its 55th edition, the New Directors/New Films festival showcases a wide-ranging group of films by emerging directors working at the vanguard of cinema. This year’s selection will introduce 24 features and 10 shorts, including one world premiere, 17 North American premieres, three US premieres, and 13 New York premieres.
Throughout its history, the festival has presented works by Ryûsuke Hamaguchi, Hou Hsiao-hsien, Kelly Reichardt, Pedro Almodóvar, Souleymane Cissé, Jia Zhangke, Spike Lee, Lynne Ramsay, Michael Haneke, Wong Kar-wai, Agnieszka Holland, Denis Villeneuve, Luca Guadagnino, and over a thousand others. Any of the filmmakers in this year’s lineup have the potential to be as important to the art of cinema as these. Join us in recognizing the continued vitality and promise of the medium.
