Mid-festival, attendees can look forward to Jim Jarmusch’s "Father Mother Sister Brother" as the centerpiece that bridges the thematic diversity of the festival. Closing the festival will be Bradley Cooper’s intriguingly titled "Is This Thing On?", while the spotlight gala film is "Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere" by Scott Cooper, featuring Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen during the iconic "Nebraska" album phase.

Experimental Films and Documentaries

DuBois’s later years in Ghana, blending historical narrative with avant-garde filmmaking. Such entries underscore NYFF’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of traditional storytelling.
