Clint Eastwood’s “Hereafter” will join a lineup of international features at the 48th New York Film Festival, which on Monday announced 25 new additions to its lineup.
The Eastwood film, which stars Matt Damon and Bryce Dallas Howard (below) and tells interlocking stories of three characters affected by death or near-death experiences, will serve as the closing-night attraction at NYFF, which begins on September 24.
As previously announced, the festival will kick off with David Fincher’s “The Social Network,” and also include a centerpiece screening of Julie Taymor’s “The Tempest.”
Other films announced by the Film Society of Lincoln Center on Monday include several that screened at Cannes: Mike Leigh’s “Another Year,” Abbas Kiarostami’s “Certified Copy,” Olivier Assayas’ “Carlos,” Charles Ferguson’s documentary “Inside Job,” Xavier Beauvois’ “Of Gods and Men,” Cristi Puiu’s “Aurora,” Jean-Luc Godard’s controversial “Film Socialisme” and the Palme d’Or winner “Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall Past Lives.”
In addition, the festival will present the Mexican anthology film “Revolucion,” which recently screened at the Los Angeles Film Festival; “Wendy and Lucy” director Kelly Reichardt’s “Meek’s Cutoff,” with Michelle Williams and Bruce Greenwood; and the Portuguese mini-series “Mysteries of Lisbon,” from director Raul Ruiz.
