NYFF 64 Opens With James Gray's Paper Tiger

The 64th New York Film Festival opens Friday night at Lincoln Center's Alice Tully Hall with James Gray's Paper Tiger, kicking off a run that continues through October 12.

Ava DuVernay's documentary 14th is the closing-night selection. In all, the festival will screen 119 films, including 75 features and 44 shorts.

This year's lineup leans heavily on documentary premieres. Jonathan Glazer, Paul Thomas Anderson and DuVernay will all world premiere new nonfiction work at the festival, while You Can See Everything — an Elizabeth Holmes documentary from Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim — arrives after a secret screening at Telluride. NAZA, directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, world premiered in Venice.

Among the fiction titles drawing attention is Godzilla Minus Zero, directed by Takashi Yamazaki. Also on the slate is Artificial, Luca Guadagnino's Sam Altman biopic, which Neon acquired global rights to in June after Amazon dropped the project following its investment in OpenAI.

Deadline reported the festival's opening and closing selections and lineup details.
