MAIN
SLATE
The films making up the
main slate of this year’s
NYFF, have in common a
general quality of fearlessness that unites otherwise
very disparate works. These
are films that go all the way,
works willing to take the risk
or chance that by doing so
they may be bringing audiences to places they might
rather not go.
Caesar Must Die
Barbara
- Richard Peña, NYFF Selection Committee
Chair & Film Society Program Director
Join us for this special evening as we celebrate the Academy Award-winning
­actress, featuring an intimate on-stage
conversation followed by the U.S. premiere of her latest film, The Paperboy,
­directed by the Oscar-nominated Lee
­Daniels and featuring one of the year’s
strongest ensemble cast.

A TRIBUTE TO nicole kidman
featuring The Paperboy
“Nicole Kidman is one of film’s finest contemporary actresses. Since her breakthrough performance in To Die For and her
bold and provocative appearances in Lars
Von Trier’s Dogville, Stanley Kubrick’s Eyes
Wide Shut, as well as her awarding-winning
portrayal of ­Virginia Woolf in Stephen
­Daldry’s The Hours, Kidman has insisted on
finding roles that are complex, bold and demanding. We are excited to honor her with
a tribute at the New York Film F
­ estival.”
RICHARD PEÑA: 25 YEARS
In his unprecedented tenure as the Film
­Society’s Program Director and Selection
Committee Chair of the New York Film
Festival, Richard Peña has upheld the organization’s gold standard for showcasing
the best in world cinema, while dramatically expanding its—and, in turn, the audience’s—horizons. From his encyclopedic
surveys of Italian Neorealism and pre-revolutionary Iranian cinema, to major career
retrospectives of directors Michelangelo
Antonioni, Sacha Guitry and Satyajit Ray,
­Peña’s inexhaustible knowledge and insatiable appetite for undiscovered cinematic
territory have been an ongoing gift to
New York moviegoers for the better part
of three decades. During that same time,
he has overseen the Film Society’s expansion from an annual festival to a year-round
film exhibitor with three screens and a rapidly expanding online presence. As his final
NYFF draws to a close, please join us for
this gala tribute to honor a true visionary.
Featuring special guest speakers, film
clips, and many other surprises!
