Film at Lincoln Center (FLC) and The Museum of Modern Art announce the return of the 49th Annual New Directors/New Films (ND/NF), rescheduled from March for Wednesday, December 9 – Sunday, December 20. Throughout its rich, nearly half-century history, the festival has celebrated filmmakers who represent the present and anticipate the future of cinema, and whose daring work pushes the envelope in unexpected ways. This year’s festival will introduce 24 features and 10 shorts virtually to audiences nationwide, with films scheduled over the course of 12 days and screening exclusively in the FLC Virtual Cinema.

Celebrating its 49th edition in 2020, the New Directors/New Films festival introduces New York audiences to the work of emerging filmmakers from around the world. New Directors has brought previously little-known talents like Spike Lee, Chantal Akerman, Wong Kar-wai, Steven Spielberg, Claire Denis, Pedro Almodóvar, Guillermo del Toro, Christopher Nolan, Marielle Heller, Hirokazu Kore-eda, Kelly Reichardt, Charles Burnett, Lynne Ramsay, Lee Chang-dong, Yorgos Lanthimos, Mia Hansen-Løve, Bi Gan, Michael Haneke, and Hou Hsiao-hsien to wider audiences. Join FLC this year in celebrating a group of filmmakers who represent the present and anticipate the future of cinema: daring artists whose work pushes the envelope and is never what you’d expect.

Films can be rented for $12 each, or you can purchase an All-Access Package that provides unlimited access to the entire slate for $120. Click here to purchase tickets.
