The film will also screen at the Pace University Michael Schimmel Center for the Arts.

Festival co-director Jane Rosemthal said: "Warner Bros has been a big part of the Festival many times over the years and we are thrilled that the Wachowskis and producer Joel Silver are bringing Speed Racer to us this year to close the Festival."
