New York Film Festival 2023: Date, Lineup, Venues and How to Buy Passes and Tickets

The New York Film Festival (NYFF) is back with its 61st edition with a fascinating lineup in the main slate. Dennis Lim, artistic director, and Matt Bolish, who was recently promoted to managing director, are in charge of this year's festival. 

The NYFF stands as one of the oldest and most respected film festivals in the United States. Taking place annually in the autumn season in New York City, the festival is organised by Film at Lincoln Center. This cinematic event originated in 1963, was established by Richard Roud and Amos Vogel, and gained momentum with the backing of Lincoln Center's president, William Schuman.

Contrary to popular belief, no awards are given in the NY Film Festival. Instead, the focus is on showcasing the best new films from around the world.
