The New York Film Festival is back and offering up a promising slate of movies you can see before the big awards. The fun begins on September 26 and runs through October 13 at several theaters within Lincoln Center.
The lineup is long, but we scoured the list for our top picks, detailed here. A few include the already-controversial After the Hunt, directed by Luca Guadagnino with actors Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri and Andrew Garfield; Bradley Cooper's Is This Thing On?; and thriller A House of Dynamite directed by Kathryn Bigelow. If your favorites sell out, a standby line will form outside the box office before every screening—and some seats always open up, even for the most popular titles (just be sure to arrive early).
Want to see some stars? There's a good chance you could. Just make sure you stick around after the lights come up. Many of the screenings include post-show Q&As with the director and members of the cast.
Tickets are on sale here for $20 and $30, with a discount for Film at Lincoln Center members and students.
