Even though Alec and I talked about being a bit exhausted from film festival coverage, I’m really looking forward to the upcoming New York Film Festival. Yesterday they announced the main slate, which includes a lot of movies I’ve been looking forward to for months. Some highlights:
- Hayao Miyazaki’s The Wind Rises
- The Coen Brothers’ Inside Llewyn Davis
- Spike Jonze’s Her
- Ben Stiller’s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
- Jim Jarmusch’s Only Lovers Left Alive
- Alexander Payne’s Nebraska
- Declan Lowney’s Alan Partridge
- Abdellatif Kechiche’s Blue is the Warmest Color
I have no idea how this will compare to last year’s New York Film Festival, but I’m actually more excited for this year’s slate so far than I was with last year’s.
After the cut is the official press release with the full main slate list with plot info.
Main Slate of selections
for the 2013 NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL
35 Features include new films by Catherine Breillat, J.C.
Chandor, Joel & Ethan Coen, Richard Curtis, Claire Denis,
Arnaud Desplechin, Ralph Fiennes, James Gray, James Franco,
Jim Jarmusch, Claude Lanzmann, Alexander Payne, Hong Sang-

NEW YORK, August 19, 2013 —The Film Society of Lincoln Center announced today the 35 films that will comprise the main slate of official selections for the 51st New York Film Festival (September 27-October 13) including such notable directors as Catherine Breillat, J.C. Chandor, Joel & Ethan Coen, Richard Curtis, Claire Denis, Arnaud Desplechin, Ralph Fiennes, James Franco, James Gray, Jim Jarmusch, Claude Lanzmann, Alexander Payne, Hong Sang-soo, Frederick Wiseman and Jia Zhangke.
NYFF’s Director of Programming and Selection Committee Chair, Kent Jones said, “Cinema is a vast terrain with a complex ecology, encompassing a mindbending array of species and habitats – there are multiple approaches to the question ‘What is a movie,’ from the industrial to the hand-made, from the carefully written to the poetically assembled. I love the level of diversity in the main slate selections, which includes documentaries, biographies, comedies, adventures, epics, chamber pieces, elegies, explorations and affirmations. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.”
Award winners from past festivals presented for the first time to New York audiences include; Abdellatif Kechiche’s BLUE IS THE WARMEST COLOR, the winner of the 2013 Cannes Palme d’Or (which in a first, was awarded to both of its lead actresses, Adèle Exarchopoulos and Léa Seydoux, as well as the director); Joel and Ethan Coen’s INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS, which won the festival’s Grand Prix Award; Jia Zhangke’s A TOUCH OF SIN, winner for Best Screenplay; Rithy Panh’s THE MISSING PICTURE, winner of the Certain Regard Prize and Hany Abu-Assad’s OMAR, which won the Certain Regard Jury Prize; and Alexander Payne’s NEBRASKA, which features Cannes Best Actor winner Bruce Dern. Additional award winners were Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson’s AMERICAN PROMISE, which won a U.S. Documentary Special Jury Award at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and Sebastián Lelio’s GLORIA, whose star Pauline Garcia took home the Berlin Film Festival’s Silver Bear for Best Actress.
American and British comedies are a significant presence in this year’s lineup of of main slate official selections with Richard Curtis’s ABOUT TIME, a romantic comedy about a family whose men have the ability to travel in time, starring Bill Nighy and Rachel McAdams; Declan Lowney’s ALAN PARTRIDGE, which brings Steve Coogan’s legendary television character to the big screen for the first time; Roger Michell’s LE WEEK-END, featuring Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan as a couple visiting Paris with hopes of rekindling their relationship; and Alexander Payne’s NEBRASKA, about a father and son (Bruce Dern and Will Forte) on a road trip to pick up a million dollar prize that may or may not await them; and the previously announced Centerpiece and Closing Night Gala selections, Ben Stiller’s THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY and Spike Jonze’s HER.
Documentary filmmaking legends Claude Lanzmann and Frederick Wiseman each make their third appearances in NYFF’s main slate. Lanzmann returns with THE LAST OF THE UNJUST, a portrait of Benjamin Murmelstein, the last Jewish elder of Theresienstadt, once despised by many of its surviving inhabitants. Wiseman turns his camera toward the University of California, Berkeley, with his latest film, AT BERKELEY.
Rose Kuo, the Executive Director of the Film Society of Lincoln Center, said, “The Film Society’s commitment to presenting the significant films of the year each fall at the New York Film Festival continues with our latest edition. This year we welcome a record number of over a dozen returning veterans along with a number of new voices. It has been an interesting year for cinema with spirited discussions already underway about some of the films in our curated main slate selections. I’m sure that New York audiences will be excited, maybe sometimes even provoked, but hopefully also inspired by this year’s new work.”

Director: Alain Guiraudie
Country: France
Alain Guiraudie’s lethally precise, sexually explicit film, which unfolds entirely in the vicinity of a gay cruising ground, is both a no-holds-barred depiction of a hedonistic subculture and a perverse and unnerving tale of amour fou. A Strand release.

STRAY DOGS (Jiao You) (2013) 138min
