Festival Description:

The New York Film Festival continues its proud tradition of showing the newest and most important cinematic works by directors from around the world. The 17-day Festival is an unparalleled showcase of inspiring and provocative cinema by emerging talents and first-rank international artists whose films are often recognized as contemporary classics. A special section of the Festival is the Views from the Avant-Garde which premieres non-narrative, experimental film and video.

The Festival is highly competitive with an average of 28 feature films and 12 short films selected each year. There are no categories and no prizes awarded. Selections are made by a five person committee.

The 2007 and 2008 Festivals will take place at the Frederick P. Rose Hall, home of Jazz at Lincoln Center, Broadway at 60th Street. The selection is announced in the New York Times on the first Sunday following Labor Day.
