Highlights include the return of writer/director Todd Field with “TÁR,” a classical music-world film starring Cate Blanchett. It will be his first directorial effort since 2006’s “Little Children,” his first film in 16 years. Paul Schrader will return to the festival with “The Master Gardner,” a thriller starring Sigourney Weaver and Joel Edgerton, as well U.K. filmmaker Joanna Hogg with her new film, “The Eternal Daughter” starring Tilda Swinton.

Highlights that premiered earlier this year at Cannes include Park Chan-wook’s “Decision to Leave,” Charlotte Wells’ “Aftersun,” Kelly Reichardt’s “Showing Up,” Claire Denis’ “Stars at Noon,” and it wouldn’t be a regular NYFF without two Hong Sangsoo films in the line-up.

“If there is one takeaway from this year’s Main Slate, it is cinema’s limitless capacity for renewal,” said Dennis Lim, artistic director of the New York Film Festival. “Collectively, the films in the program suggest that this renewal takes many forms: breathtaking debuts, veterans pulling off new tricks, filmmakers of all stripes seeking new and surprising forms of expression and representation. We love the range and eclecticism of this group of films and are excited to share it with audiences.”

This year’s Main Slate showcases films produced in 18 different countries, featuring new titles from renowned auteurs, exceptional work from returning NYFF directors as well as those making their NYFF debuts, and celebrated films from festivals worldwide, including Cannes prizewinners: Claire Denis’s Stars at Noon; Park Chan-wook’s Decision to Leave; Ruben Östlund’s Triangle of Sadness; and Charlotte Wells’s debut feature film, Aftersun. Carla Simón’s Alcarràs was awarded the Golden Bear at the 72nd Berlinale Festival, and Shaunak Sen’s All That Breathes took the Grand Jury Prize in the World Cinema Documentary Competition at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and the l’Oeil d’Or for best documentary at Cannes.

NYFF runs September 30–October 16, and we’ll have plenty of coverage before, during, and after the festival.
