New York Film Festival Tour Dates & Tickets
The New York Film Festival (NYFF) is a cornerstone of American cinema, founded in 1963 by Richard Roud and Amos Vogel to elevate film as a serious art form. Presented by Film at Lincoln Center, NYFF takes place each fall across New York City, with flagship screenings at the Walter Reade Theater and the Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center at Lincoln Center. NYFF is non-competitive, offering a Main Slate of roughly 20–30 feature films alongside dedicated sections for experimental cinema and restorations. The 63rd edition occurred in 2025 from September 26 to October 13, with audiences gathering to experience bold storytelling, visionary direction, and restorations that preserve cinema history. While NYFF focuses on the festival experience rather than touring, the festival solidifies New York City as a premier destination for film lovers year after year. Follow NYFF for updates via their official social channels for schedules, tickets, and venue information.
