50 Years of the New York Film Festival
November 8, 2011–September 30, 2012 at

Founded in 1963, as the auteur theory and European cinematic modernism were crashing on to the shores of American film culture, the New York Film Festival stands as the second-oldest film festival in North America, and one of the oldest in the world. As we count down to NYFF's historic 50th edition in 2012, the Film Society is proud to present a year-long retrospective of highlights from the festival's first 49 years, as curated by past and present members of the NYFF selection committee.

The Hunt (Carlos Saura, 1966); 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her (Jean-Luc Godard, 1967); The Battle of Algiers (Gillo Pontecorvo, 1967); My Night at Maud's (Eric Rohmer, 1969); Kes (Ken Loach, 1969, pictured); L'amour fou (Jacques Rivette, 1969); The Debut (Gleb Panfilov, 1970); Mean Streets (Martin Scorsese, 1973)
