Festival Description:

New Directors /New Films is a non-competitive international festival featuring the work of emerging filmmakers. There are no separate categories and no prizes awarded. Films (features and shorts) are chosen according to quality from all categories ~ dramatic, documentary, animated, experimental, etc.

For nearly four decades New Directors/New Films has been one of the leading international showcases for the work of emerging filmmakers. This longstanding and successful collaboration between two major New York cultural institutions—the Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art and the Film Society of Lincoln Center — has premiered hundreds of films, many of which have gone on to enjoy both critical and popular success. Many directors showcased in the past have become major figures in world cinema, including Chantal Akerman, Pedro Almodóvar, Héctor Babenco, Terence Davies, Guillermo del Toro, Atom Egoyan, Nicole Holofcener, Spike Lee, Richard Linklater, Sally Potter, John Sayles, Steven Spielberg, Tom Tykwer and Wim Wenders.
