While probably the two biggest announcements at this year’s New York Film Festival have already been announced, with the premieres of Joel Coen’s “Tragedy of Macbeth” on Opening Night and Pedro Almodovar’s “Parallel Mothers” closing out the event, it appears the folks at NYFF still had some tricks up their sleeves as we now know the full lineup for the fall festival.
In addition to ‘Macbeth’ and “Parallel Mothers,” this year’s NYFF will also showcase Jane Campion’s highly-anticipated feature, “The Power of the Dog,” which is given the Centerpiece label at this year’s event. This film stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Kirsten Dunst, Jesse Plemons, and Thomasin McKenzie and is already getting some serious awards season buzz.

“Taken together, the movies in this year’s Main Slate are a reminder of cinema’s world-making possibilities,” said Dennis Lim, NYFF Director of Programming and chair of the Main Slate selection committee. “They open up new ways of seeing and feeling and thinking, and whether or not they refer to our uncertain present, they help us make sense of our moment. I’m in awe of the sheer range of voices, styles, ideas, and images contained in this lineup, which includes many returning filmmakers but also more new names than we’ve had in some time, and I’m eager to welcome audiences back to our cinemas to experience these films as live, communal events.”
