NYFF64 day two: a Saturday guide to premieres, Q&As and restorations
ArticleMythscribe26 September 2026

Saturday's NYFF64 programme runs from an animated Cannes prize-winner to a five-hour Borges film, with premieres, filmmaker talks and restored classics across the day.

The 64th New York Film Festival's second day is Saturday, September 26 , with premieres, filmmaker Q&As, a restored classic and a long-form documentary on the same schedule. The times below are New York local time (EDT) . Check Film at Lincoln Center's live schedule for ticket status, venue details and any changes

before setting out; simultaneous screenings mean this is a choice of routes, not a one-day checklist. Start with animation or a restoration At 10:30 a.m. , Louis Clichy's Iron Boy opens the day's Spotlight programme. This French-Belgian, hand-painted coming-of-age film won the Un Certain Regard Special Jury Prize at

Cannes. The screening has a Q&A with animation director Chloe Aubert and producer Céline Vanlint; FLC lists the film at 90 minutes and says $15 rush tickets are available on the day, first-come, first-served. Its film page also lists captions and audio description at the Walter Reade Theater screening, so check that

venue detail when choosing a ticket. The noon hour offers two very different alternatives: Hong Sangsoo's 72-minute Nowhere to Lay My Eyes at 12:30 p.m. , a North American premiere, or Markus Schleinzer's Rose at 1 p.m. , with Sandra Hüller's Berlin Silver Bear-winning performance. At 1 p.m. , the Revivals programme

also screens Paula Delsol's The Drift in a new 4K restoration. Confirm venues on the official listings before planning a connection between screenings. Afternoon premieres and conversations At 2:30 p.m. , audiences can choose a James Gray–Jim Jarmusch conversation or John Abraham's 1986 film Report to Mother , shown as

a U.S. premiere of a new 4K restoration. A 3:30 p.m. slot pairs the North American premiere of NAZA —the 77-minute documentary by Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor—with Jacqueline Lentzou's Venice-winning A Day in the Life of Jo: Chapter Phaedra . Nicolás Pereda's 70-minute domestic comedy Everything Else Is Noise screens

at 4:30 p.m. as a U.S. premiere, followed by a Q&A with Pereda and Lázaro G. Rodríguez. At 5:15 p.m. , Mariano Llinás's Life of Jorge Luis Borges begins: its listed runtime is 323 minutes , with a Q&A. Allow for the full screening and discussion when deciding whether it fits alongside the evening programme. Evening

choices The 6 p.m. listings include the world premiere of Takashi Yamazaki's Godzilla Minus Zero with a Q&A, and Sebastian Brameshuber's London , a Currents selection with a Q&A. At 6:45 p.m. , Currents Program 2: The Visible Invisible brings together four short works, including the world premiere of Morgan Fisher's

Screening Room at Walter Reade Theater screenings. The night closes with two 9 p.m. options: Ken Russell's The Devils in a newly restored 35mm print, followed by a Q&A, or Chris Rock's U.S. premiere Misty Green , also with a Q&A. Use the official programme to confirm the auditorium and current ticket availability; the

schedule spans multiple Lincoln Center venues. Headline image: a still from Louis Clichy's animated film ‘Iron Boy’; courtesy Sony Pictures Classics.
