The New York Film Festival is upon us! For those who are not familiar, much like the Tribeca Film Festival , the 51st New York Film Festival celebrates American and international cinema, by supporting new and emerging filmmakers, as well as experienced filmmakers. This year, like every year, The New York Film Festival has come up with an incredible line up that highlights lesser known talents, Oscar prospectives, and star power.
Kicking off on September 27 at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, and running through to October 13, The Inquisitr will be there throughout its entire run to bring you coverage on the films that are about to make some huge waves this fall in a theater near you. We’ll be reporting on press conferences with filmmakers and talent, from the most buzzed about films, and reviewing them too, so the next cinema lover doesn’t have to miss a beat.
