After a year of industry strikes, film festivals have returned in full force, reigniting excitement around filmmaking. The 62nd annual New York Film Festival is set to open at Lincoln Center, featuring a lineup of queer-centric works by well-known creators like Pedro Almodóvar and Luca Guadagnino. Almodóvar’s film “The Room Next Door” stars Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore and explores themes of mortality, while Guadagnino’s “Queer” features Daniel Craig in a role exploring desire and obsession. Other notable films in the lineup include Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Pérez,” a dark musical about a lawyer helping a cartel boss fake her own death for gender-affirming surgery. The festival also includes works from returning directors and newcomers, all showcasing a range of queer sensibilities and perspectives. The programming reflects the evolving approach of the festival to showcase a variety of voices and stories, highlighting the complexities of the world we live in through cinema. Overall, the lineup promises to be diverse, thought-provoking, and engaging for audiences looking to experience the art of filmmaking in a new and innovative way.
