The Film Society of Lincoln Center has announced twenty-two more movies for their main slate of the 55th New York Film Festival, joining the previously announced Opening Night, Closing Night and Centerpiece films.
Richard Linklater’s Last Flag Flying will open the prestigious festival on September 28 and the latest film from Woody Allen, Wonder Wheel, closes it on October 15. Both of those are World Premieres. In between will be the Centerpiece film, Wonderstruck, from Todd Haynes, which previously played at Cannes and Locarno.
The twenty-two new movies announced include previous festival favorites like Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me By Your Name, Dee Rees’ Mudbound and Sean Baker’s The Florida Project, as well as Greta Gerwig’s directorial debut Lady Bird and Noah Baumbach’s Netflix movie The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected). Other returning filmmakers include Claire Denis, Aki Kaurismäki, Arnaud Desplechin, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Agnès Varda and Hong Sang-Soo.
