As the city wriggles out of the summer and into the fall, the New York Film Festival is peeping over the horizon. If you've never indulged in one of the world's finest festivals, this is a good year to start—the movies this year are made by some of the best filmmakers on Earth. You've probably already heard about some of the 2026 slate, like Luca Guadagnino's movie about Sam Altman, or Paul Thomas Anderson's Cameron Winter concert movie, or Nathan Fielder's Elizabeth Holmes documentary "You Can See Everything" and its internet-breaking, instantly-memed trailer.
The festival opens to passholders starting next Friday, September 25. Some of the screenings have already begun to sell out, so we figured we'd highlight what we're most excited to check out at this year's festival. Seize your chance to attend a Q&A and ask one of the directors and actors an annoyingly long question!
