第64届纽约电影节作为全球最负盛名的电影盛事之一,将于本周五开幕。届时将有70余部剧情长片和纪录片进行全球首映或美国首映,参演阵容包括佩德罗·帕斯卡、亚当·德赖弗、斯嘉丽·约翰逊、朱丽安·摩尔以及哥斯拉。
本届电影节将持续至10月12日,在纽约市五个行政区的影院举办放映活动,展映单元包括短片单元、修复影片展映以及导演座谈会。
以下是部分将在未来几个月院线上映或流媒体上线前,率先与观众见面的最值得关注、也最引人入胜的影片。
纪录片
纽约电影节的纪录片单元包含以下作品:聚焦Theranos骗局定罪者伊丽莎白·霍姆斯的《你能看到一切》;讲述乌克兰遭俄罗斯入侵后流亡的年轻记者的《我不受欢迎的朋友们:第二部——流亡》;埃莉诺·科波拉与女儿、导演索菲亚·科波拉联合创作的《打造玛丽·安托瓦内特》;以及讲述摩洛哥骑手的《巴尔迪》。 纽约电影节;A24;Cinetic;Mubi
今年的展映名单中不乏热度极高的非虚构影片。在本月初特柳赖德电影节上全球首映时便引发惊喜的《你能看到一切》中,内森·菲尔德(代表作《乔纳森为你服务》《彩排》)在因欺诈被判11年监禁的伊丽莎白·霍姆斯及其伴侣入狱前的日子里,住进了他们家中。他与联合导演兰斯·奥本海姆一同与霍姆斯对话,试图揭示她的作案动机。(纽约首映;9月30日)
朱莉娅·洛克特夫的《我不受欢迎的朋友们:第二部——流亡》是其2024年广受好评的纪实作品续作,原片记录了莫斯科独立媒体对普京政权的报道。本片讲述记者们在俄罗斯入侵乌克兰后被迫流亡,以及克里姆林宫加强对战争报道审查和逮捕的故事。(纽约首映;9月27日)
最受期待的影片之一是《NAZA》(北美首映;9月26日、27日)。该片导演表示,他们采访了数十名以色列军方和情报部门内部人士,这些人士称系统性使用人工智能靶向武器导致了加沙巴勒斯坦人面临潜在的人权侵犯。片名“NAZA”指附带损伤,影片由尤瓦尔·亚伯拉罕和蕾切尔·索尔执导(后者的前作《别无他土》曾获奥斯卡奖)。这部在威尼斯电影节斩获评审团特别奖的影片遭到以色列政府的广泛批评,以方在一份声明中称“坚决拒绝”相关指控,并对影片使用匿名消息源表示担忧。以色列国防军此前多次否认其故意在巴勒斯坦领土袭击平民的指控。针对《NAZA》,以色列文化部长还呼吁剥夺两位以色列导演的公民身份。
艾娃·杜韦尔内的《第14修正案》是其2016年纪录片《第13修正案》的续作,前者探讨了第13修正案对大规模监禁的影响,本片则审视了如今第14修正案中公民权与正当程序保护以及防范叛乱的保障条款正受到攻击的现状。(全球首映;10月9日、11日)
《打造玛丽·安托瓦内特》是埃莉诺·科波拉在拍摄女儿索菲亚·科波拉2006年古装剧情片期间拍摄的视频日记,埃莉诺于2024年去世后,由索菲亚完成了影片制作。黛安·莲恩担任影片旁白。(纽约首映;9月29日、30日,10月1日、11日)
保罗·托马斯·安德森(凭借去年的《一场接一场的战斗》斩获奥斯卡奖)用16毫米和35毫米胶片拍摄了音乐纪录片《卡梅伦·温特在卡内基音乐厅》,片中布鲁克林音乐人、Geese乐队主唱在这座全球最负盛名的音乐厅举办了不插电演出。影片将于10月1日、2日、9日首映,随后将在美国各地“巡演”展映。
乔纳森·格雷泽(代表作《利益区域》)邀请伦敦小学生拍摄了艾比路录音室的录制过程,相关素材将用于一张慈善专辑,以帮助冲突地区的儿童。《欢乐之源》将这些年轻记录者的作品与加沙、苏丹、乌克兰和也门的年轻人的记录并置,后者同样被分发相机以记录自己的生活。(全球首映;9月30日,10月1日、2日、12日)

The New York Film Festival returns with films about obsession, deception and monsters. Here’s a preview.
September 25, 2026 / 5:40 PM EDT / CBS News
By David Morgan
The 64th New York Film Festival, one of the world’s most prestigious cinema events, opens Friday with the first of more than 70 fiction features and documentaries making their world or U.S. premieres, starring such luminaries as Pedro Pascal, Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson, Julianne Moore, and Godzilla.
This year’s festival, which runs through October 12, showcases short film programs, revivals, and filmmaker talks, in screenings held in all five of the city’s boroughs.
The following are some of the most notable and intriguing films making their bows before opening in theaters or streaming in the coming months.
Documentaries
Documentaries at the New York Film Festival include “You Can See Everything,” about convicted Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes; “My Undesirable Friends: Part II – Exile,” about young journalists fleeing Russia after Putin’s invasion of Ukraine; “Making Marie Antoinette,” jointly created by Eleanor Coppola and her daughter, director Sofia Coppola; and “Bardi,” about horse riders in Morocco. New York Film Festival; A24; Cinetic; Mubi
This year’s lineup includes non-fiction films with a lot of buzz. In “You Can See Everything,” whose world premiere was a surprise at the Telluride Film Festival earlier this month, Nathan Fielder (“Nathan for You,” “The Rehearsal”) moved into the home of disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and her partner in the days prior to the start of Holmes’ 11-year prison sentence for fraud. With co-director Lance Oppenheim, Fielder engaged in conversations with Holmes aimed at revealing her motivations. (N.Y. premiere; Sept. 30).
Julia Loktev’s “My Undesirable Friends: Part II – Exile,” a sequel to her acclaimed 2024 fly-on-the-wall account of independent media in Moscow reporting on the Putin regime, follows journalists as they are forced into exile after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the Kremlin’s ramped-up censorship and arrests over reporting on the war. (N.Y. premiere; Sept. 27.)
Among the most anticipated is “NAZA” (North American premiere; Sept. 26, 27), in which its directors said they spoke with dozens of sources inside the Israeli military and intelligence services who allege that the systematic use of AI-powered targeting contributed to potential human rights abuses against Palestinians in Gaza. “NAZA,” whose title refers to collateral damage, was directed by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor (whose previous film “No Other Land” won the Academy Award). The film, which won the Special Jury Prize at the Venice Film Festival, has been widely criticized by the Israeli government, which said in a statement that it “categorically rejects” the allegations and raised concerns about the film’s use of anonymous sources. The Israel Defense Forces has repeatedly denied allegations that it intentionally targets civilians in Palestinian territories. In response to “NAZA,” Israel’s culture minister has also called for revoking the citizenship of the two Israeli directors.
A follow-up to her 2016 documentary “13th” about the ramifications of the 13th Amendment on mass incarceration, “14th,” by Ava DuVernay, examines how the 14th Amendment’s protections of citizenship and due process, as well as safeguards against insurrection, are under attack today (World premiere; Oct. 9, 11).
“Making Marie Antoinette,” a video diary shot by Eleanor Coppola during the making of daughter Sofia Coppola’s 2006 period drama, was completed by Sofia after Eleanor died in 2024. It is narrated by Diane Lane. (N.Y. premiere; Sept. 29, 30, Oct. 1, 11.)
Paul Thomas Anderson (an Oscar winner for last year’s “One Battle After Another”) shot the music documentary “Cameron Winter at Carnegie Hall” on 16mm and 35mm, in which the Brooklyn musician and frontman of Geese performed an acoustic set on the world’s most famous concert stage. The film debuts Oct. 1, 2 and 9, before going “on tour” across the U.S.
Jonathan Glazer (“The Zone of Interest”) enlisted London schoolchildren to shoot video of recording sessions at Abbey Road Studios for a charity album created to aid children in conflict zones. “Joy of Joys” parallels the young documentarians’ output with that of young people in Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine and Yemen who were similarly handed cameras to document their lives. (World premiere; Sept. 30, Oct. 1, 2, 12.)
Other documentaries range in topics from student artists at the National Institute for Blind Youth in Paris (“For the Moon,” world premiere;Oct. 6, 7), to Tala Hadid’s “Bardi” (world premiere; Oct. 1, 2, 4), which captures the lives of equestrians in central Morocco; to “Hanabi” (North American premiere; Oct. 8, 9), Ana Vaz’s visual essay about ecological disasters – natural and manmade – affecting Japan.
Profiles include “Edward Said: Between Worlds,” about the late Palestinian American professor and writer (U.S. premiere; Sept. 30, Oct. 1, 2); and Argentinean filmmaker Mariano Llinás’ “Life of Jorge Luis Borges,” which explores the Argentine writer and his impact on politics and culture (U.S. premiere; Sept. 26, 28).
In “Once Upon a Time in Harlem,” David Greaves completes the film his father William had begun in 1972, to document the living practitioners of the Harlem Renaissance (N.Y. premiere; Sept. 29, 30, Oct. 4).
World premieres
Pedro Pascal plays a cellist in Tony Gilroy’s “Behemoth!”; Andrew Garfield and Yura Borisov star as movers-and-shakers in the world of artificial intelligence in “Artificial”; and the King of the Monsters returns in “Godzilla Minus Zero.” New York Film Festival; Searchlight Pictures; Neon; GKIDS
Among the festival’s fiction films making their world premieres is “Behemoth!” starring Pedro Pascal as a former child prodigy and orchestral cellist trying to resolve his fractured life while working as a session player recording Hollywood film scores. From writer-director Tony Gilroy (“Michael Clayton,” “Andor”) (Oct. 2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 11).
In “Artificial,” director Luca Guadagnino (“Call Me By Your Name”) presents a comic-drama about the burgeoning artificial intelligence industry, from Soviet-born computer scientist Ilya Sutskever’s studies in Canada under Geoffrey Hinton, to his encounter a decade later with Sam Altman, who would co-found OpenAI. Starring Andrew Garfield, Mark Rylance, Yura Borisov, and Monica Barbaro, with a screenplay by “SNL” writer Simon Rich. (Oct. 5, 6.)
Tom McCarthy, director of the Oscar-winning “Spotlight,” presents “A Statement,” which recreates a 1980 meeting of environmental activists, policy makers and scientists trying to reach a consensus on the increasingly alarming data about climate change. The cast includes Paul Giamatti, Evan Peters, Paul Rudd, Amy Ryan and John Turturro. (Oct. 3, 4, 6, 11.)
And the gargantuan “Godzilla Minus Zero,” from director Takashi Yamazaki, stomps into Alice Tully Hall on Sept. 26.
U.S. and N.Y. premieres
The festival’s gala opening night feature is James Gray’s thriller “Paper Tiger,” a potent familiar drama (and one that is semi-autobiographical) starring Adam Driver, Miles Teller and Scarlett Johansson, about a former NYPD street cop who has hooked up with the Russian mob, and a brother who brings the unhelpful trait of naïveté to Russian gangsters (North American premiere; Sept. 25).
Sandra Hüller, an Oscar nominee for “Anatomy of a Fall,” stars in two New York premieres: “Rose,” for which she won best actress at the Berlin International Film Festival, playing a woman who garnered independence for herself in 17th-century Germany by disguising herself as a man – a ruse that took her from the battlefield to an arranged marriage (Sept. 26, 27, Oct. 1, 4); and “Fatherland,” as the daughter of famed German novelist Thomas Mann, who accompanies her father on a return to Germany after World War II, where the acrimony about questionable allegiances is still fresh. Directed by Paweł Pawlikowski (“Cold War,” “Ida”), who earned the best director prize at Cannes (Oct. 4, 5, 6, 7).
Cristian Mungiu (“4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days”) won the top prize at Cannes this year with his film “Fjord,” starring Sebastian Stan and Renate Reinsve as Pentecostal Romanian immigrants in Norway who fall under suspicion of abusing their children (U.S. premiere; Oct. 4, 5, 7).
Directed by comedian Chris Rock, “Misty Green” (U.S. premiere; Sept. 26, 27, 30, Oct. 2, 4) stars Rosalind Eleazar (“Slow Horses”) as an actress trying to regain both employment and dignity in a hostile Hollywood. The cast also includes Adam Driver, Daniel Kaluuya, Anna Kendrick, Anthony Anderson, and Rock as a director who may be the key to Misty’s way back.
Many international filmmakers are bringing their latest works to New York. Werner Herzog, whose “Fitzcarraldo” closed the 1982 festival, bows “Bucking Fastard,” starring Kate and Rooney Mara as sisters whose individual lives are so intertwined they speak (and do pretty much everything else) in unison. (Sept. 30, Oct. 8, 10, 12.)
Clockwise from top left: Adam Driver in “Paper Tiger”; Julianne Moore in “The Debut”; Sandra Hüller in “Rose”; Rosalind Eleazar in “Misty Green”; Rooney and Kate Mara in “Bucking Fastard”; and the animated “Iron Boy.” Neon; A24; Mubi; Sony Pictures Classics; New York Film Festival
In a matryoshka doll of a film, Pedro Almodóvar’s “Bitter Christmas” stars Barbara Lennie as an actress and director writing a screenplay inspired by her friends – and who herself is a fictional creation by another filmmaker (U.S. premiere; Oct. 6, 7, 8, 10, 12).
Mike Leigh’s “Tender Loving Care” is an emotional and humorous portrait of Brits navigating their lives post-Brexit (Sept. 28, 29, Oct. 6, 8, 12).

Virginie Efira and Tao Okamoto shared the best actress award at Cannes (U.S. premiere; Oct. 1, 2, 4, 9).
Nicolás Pereda’s absurdist comedy “Everything Else Is Noise” (U.S. premiere; Sept. 26, 27, Oct. 4, 5), is about a family of musicians who open their home to a TV camera crew.
From Pixar veteran Louis Clichy comes “Iron Boy” (Sept. 26, 28), an animated coming-of-age tale set in rural France, which won the Un Certain Regard Special Jury Prize at Cannes.
Julianne Moore is a suburban housewife and mother who breaks out of her routine by auditioning for a community theater production, nabbing a role no one else wants, in “The Debut,” the latest comedy from writer-director Jesse Eisenberg (“A Real Pain”), with Paul Giamatti. (N.Y. premiere; Oct. 7, 8, 10).
In the darkly humorous political thriller “Minotaur,” by exiled Russian filmmaker Andrey Zvyagintsev (“Leviathan”), a Russian businessman who suspects his wife has been unfaithful is tasked with choosing which of his employees are to be drafted to fight in the Ukraine war. Adapted from Claude Chabrol’s “La Femme infidèle,” “Minotaur” won the Grand Prix at Cannes (N.Y. premiere; Oct. 3, 5, 8).

Revivals and restorations
Jennifer Jones in the Powell-Pressburger film “Gone to Earth”; Vanessa Redgrave in Ken Russell’s “The Devils”; and Alexandra Kluge in “Yesterday Girl.” New York Film Festival; Walt Disney Company; Warner Brothers Clockwork
British director Ken Russell, as was his habit, courted controversy with his profoundly political 1971 film “The Devils,” based on the Aldous Huxley novel and set in 17th century France, about a libidinous priest charged with heresy and an order of nuns seemingly possessed by demons. Vanessa Redgrave and Oliver Reed gave gutsy performances, and Derek Jarman’s sets are superb, but the film was censored in its original release, in both the U.S. and U.K. Now, Russell’s cut has been restored from the original negatives, and is being screened in 35mm (Sept. 26).
Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s 1950 Technicolor drama “Gone to Earth,” starring Jennifer Jones, which was drastically cut by producer David O. Selznick before releasing it under a different title, has been restored by Martin Scorsese and Powell’s widow, Thelma Schoonmaker (Oct. 3, 4, 6, 10).
The festival features revivals of “The Drift,” French director Paula Delsol’s 1964 New Wave feature about a woman’s encounters with a string of men, starring Jacqueline Vandal (Sept. 26, 27, Oct. 1); “Yesterday Girl,” Alexander Kluge’s radical 1966 drama of a young East German woman (played by his sister Alexandra) transitioning to life in West Germany (Sept. 28, Oct. 4, 5); and Barbara Hammer’s provocative 1992 documentary, “Nitrate Kisses,” which explores representations of homosexuals in films and the emergence of queer cinema (Oct. 3, 5); and from 1976, Luchino Visconti’s final film, “L’innocente,” starring Laura Antonelli, Giancarlo Giannini and Jennifer O’Neill, in a period film about an aristocracy riven with marital affairs (Oct. 3, 6, 7, 9).
