A largely virtual New York Film Festival unveils lineup

NEW YORK — This year’s New York Film Festival will be held largely virtually and in outdoor screenings, organizers said Thursday while unveiling a lineup featuring new films from Chloe Zhao, Steve McQueen, and Azazel Jacobs.

The major fall film festivals, which often jockey for the chance to premiere the season’s top films, have this year worked in concert to salvage what they can from a more limited array of films and a drastic reduction in attendees. Many of the films selected by Film at Lincoln Center, which presents the New York Film Festival, will also play at the Venice and Toronto festivals.

This image released by the New York Film Festival shows a scene from Steve McQueen’s “Lovers Rock” which will premiere at the 58th New York Film Festival. As previously announced, the 58th New York Film Festival will kick off with McQueen’s “Lovers Rock”; Chloe Zhao’s “Nomadland” is the centerpiece; and Azazel Jacobs’ “French Exit,” starring Michelle Pfeiffer and Lucas Hedges. Two more of McQueen’s films — “Mangrove” and “Red, White and Blue” — will play at the festival; all come from his upcoming “Small Axe” television anthology for the BBC and Amazon about West Indians in London.
