The Revivals section is programmed by Florence Almozini and Dan Sullivan with program advising by Gina Telaroli and will be presented in a combination of virtual and drive-in screenings.
‘Since 1963, the New York Film Festival has been a centrepiece of New York’s arts scene: an annual bellwether of the state of cinema that has shaped film culture in the city and beyond. Festival organisers will keep this tradition alive while adapting as necessary to the current health crisis. The safety of audiences and staff is the first priority. The 58th edition of NYFF will focus on outdoor and virtual screenings, as directed by state and health officials.”
Tickets will go on sale to the general public on September 11.
