"It’s a great honour to close the esteemed New York Film Festival with Ferrari,” said director Michael Mann.
“Michael Mann has made many remarkable movies but perhaps never one as simultaneously thrilling and moving as Ferrari,” said Dennis Lim, Artistic Director of the New York Film Festival. “Not just a feat of virtuosity, this is a grand and striking evolution of his career themes and his most deeply personal work. We are honoured to welcome him to the festival for what I’m sure will be a Closing Night for the ages.”
The New York Film Festival Main Slate selection committee, chaired by Dennis Lim, also includes Florence Almozini, Justin Chang, K Austin Collins, and Rachel Rosen.
The 61st New York Film Festival runs from Friday, September 29 through Sunday, October 15.
