The New York Film Festival (NYFF) may not be the oldest film festival in the U.S., but for more than 60 years it has been one of the most influential showcases of world cinema, premiering landmark films and legendary filmmakers.

From Luis Buñuel’s The Exterminating Angel in 1963 to RaMell Ross’s Nickel Boys in 2024, the NYFF has consistently shaped the conversation around cinema, launched award contenders, and marked the beginning of the Oscars race.

In this episode of Inside the Arthouse, we sit down with Dennis Lim, Artistic Director of the New York Film Festival and former Village Voice film critic, to discuss:

How the NYFF 2025 program is curated

What makes this festival unique among U.S. film festivals

The role of Film at Lincoln Center in championing independent and international cinema

👉 Join us for this exclusive conversation with Dennis Lim on Inside the Arthouse and get an insider’s look at one of the most important film festivals in the world.
