Unlike Telluride, New York Film Festival is not stopping and it just confirmed its line-up which has a lot of Berlin titles and some Cannes. Filmiere.com already reported that “Nomadland” will be the center film and “French Exit” will be the closing film. Opening Night film will be Steve McQueen’s “Lovers Rock”. It’s also notable for its lack of American films since there will be only five US produced titles on the main slate so far. Korean director Hong Sang-soo is also back with a new film.
