“Several roundtable discussions highlight thematic trends within this year’s program: Outside the Canon, with panellists from Light Industry, Spectacle Cinema, No Evil Eye microcinema, Upside Film Festival, and the DocYard; Rethinking World Cinema, which will feature trailblazing filmmakers from underrepresented regions within the festival circuit and international canon; and The Revolution Will Be Filmed, a panel about the cinematic depiction of global protest movements and police brutality, organised in conjunction with the festival premieres of Steve McQueen’s Small Axe films and The Monopoly of Violence.”
Steve McQueen’s Lovers Rock is the Opening Night Gala selection and will premiere tomorrow at the Queens Drive-In at 8:00pm and at the Brooklyn Drive-In at 9:00pm.
Talks are organised by Devika Girish and Madeline Whittle, in collaboration with Eugene Hernandez and Dennis Lim.
The 2020 New York Film Festival runs from September 17 through October 11, 2020.
