Once the summer’s big popcorn blockbusters and sequels have died down, filmgoers worry about a movie drought after. But thanks to Film at Lincoln Center’s upcoming New York Film Festival 2019, film lovers can breathe a sigh of relief.
The 57th New York Film Festival runs from September 27th to October 13th. Since 1963, the festival has been responsible for introducing NYC audiences to both esteemed filmmakers and fresh new talent. The 17-day festival brings together directors, actors and actresses, movies, post-screening Q&As, short films, and panel discussions right here on the Upper West Side.

The 57th New York Film Festival continues Film at Lincoln Center’s 50th anniversary, which was celebrated back in April. Film at Lincoln Center was founded in 1969 as a way to celebrate American and international cinema. Throughout the next half-century, the organization devoted itself to ensuring that film remains an essential art form with publications and film festivals. According to their website, Film at Lincoln Center “is the only branch at Lincoln Center to devote support and elevate the importance of the moving image.”
