Jim Jarmusch: “I am so very proud of the long history of my work being presented at the NYFF, and am now super honoured that my newest film Father Mother Sister Brother has been selected for this year’s Centerpiece. The NYFF, the chosen church of my religion, has provided many of my greatest inspirations and revelations in its continuing celebration of the deep and diverse beauty of cinema.
Dennis Lim, Artistic Director, New York Film Festival, stated: “Jim Jarmusch’s new movie is not just one of his very best, it distills everything we have come to love and value about this singular filmmaker’s work into one glorious triptych. Father Mother Sister Brother is wise, generous, slyly funny, and enormously moving, and we are honored to present it as our Centerpiece selection this year.”
The NYFF Main Slate selection committee is chaired by Dennis Lim, NYFF Artistic Director, and includes Florence Almozini, Justin Chang, K Austin Collins, and Rachel Rosen.
The 63rd New York Film Festival runs from Friday, September 26 through Monday, October 13.
