New York Film Festival Director on Curating the 2024 Slate and Why He Doesn’t Prioritize World Premieres
New York Film Festival's artistic director Dennis Lim says he wants the 2024 lineup to "sum up the year in cinema."
Also on this year’s slate is David Cronenberg’s sci-fi thriller “The Shrouds,” Alain Guiraudie’s dark comedy “Misericordia,” Mike Leigh’s slice-of-life “Hard Truths,” Paul Schrader’s elegiac drama “Oh, Canada” and Brady Corbet’s historical epic “The Brutalist.” “Nickle Boys,” a historical drama directed by RaMell Ross and adapted from Colson Whitehead’s Pulitzer Prize–winning novel about two Black teenagers who become wards of a barbaric juvenile reformatory in Jim Crow-era Florida, will open the festival on Friday. It’s a coveted slot that’s been filled in previous years by Todd Haynes’ “May December,” Joel Coen’s “The Tragedy of Macbeth,” Steve McQueen’s “Lovers Rock,” Martin Scorsese’s “The Irishman” and Yorgos Lanthimos’ “The Favourite.”
