The 53rd Annual New York Film Festival (NYFF) presented by the Film Society of Lincoln Center will begin on Friday, September 25 and runs through Sunday, October 11. The NYFF will once again debut new films, show restored classics, host filmmaker talks, special events and more.

The Festival offers 26 main lineup features, the first of which, The Walk -- the story of French high-wire artist Philippe Petit and his effort to walk a tight rope across the Twin Towers -- will be screened back to back on the night of Saturday, September 26. Other main line up features include: Steve Jobs, the critically acclaimed portrait of the co-founder of Apple Inc. at the height of the digital revolution; the US premier of Mountains May Depart, a story of two best friends and aspiring entrepreneurs on the cusp of China's capitalist explosion; Carol, a forbidden love story of two women in the early 1950s based on Patricia Highsmith's early novel; and several other great international and independent films. There is a large schedule of events throughout the 17 days of cinematic celebration, including talks with HBO Directors like Michael Moore and Todd Hayes, whose latest films also appear in the lineup, and interactive experiences like Sherlock Holmes & the Internet of Things, a collaborative mystery that the audience unfolds, and Temping, a comedic story told through various technologies chronicling the role of a temp which the audience experiences individually and hands-on. 

These are just some of the many events and screenings audiences can enjoy at this year's New York Film Festival. Click here for a full schedule or click here to download a PDF version of the brochure. The festival will continue through Sunday, October 11 ending with encore screenings to be decided.
