After a long wait, The Film Society of Lincoln Center finally announced the official main slate selection of the festival, and we couldn’t be more excited to attend this year’s festival. The main slate features a variety of films including Cannes darlings like Burning, Cold War and Shoplifters (Palme d’Or winner), exciting Sundance debuts such as Wildlife, and exciting premieres such as The Coen Brother’s latest The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, Claire Denis’ High Life, Oliver Assays’ Non-Fiction, and Barry Jenkins’ If Beale Street Could Talk. That doesn’t even include the main galas which had already been announced or Hong Sangsoo’s two upcoming films. Read the full line up below:
