61st New York Film Festival
Returning every fall to celebrate a new slate of essential cinema from around the globe, the 61st edition of the NYFF will take place from September 29 through October 15, 2023.
Once again this year, the festival gives French filmmaking top billing.

Preciado; and an unreleased short film by Agnès Varda, “Pier Paolo Pasolini”.
Moreover, the Directors will be in attendance for Q&As after the screening of their movies: Paul B. Preciado on October 3 and 4; Justine Triet on 7 and 8; Bertrand Bonello on 8 and 9; Catherine Breillat on 10 and 12.
Numerous other French works have also been selected in the Festival’s other categories (Spotlight, Currents and Revival).
