Overview

The New York Film Festival is an annual, non-competitive event presented by Film at Lincoln Center each fall, showcasing a curated selection of significant films from around the world. 2020 marked a new era as we adapted to the challenges of the pandemic. It was the first year the event was held during such unprecedented times.

Inspired by the layout of Zoom meetings, where participants’ eyes appear to blink on screen, the festival’s entire concept centered on ‘eye blinking’—a tribute to the unwavering passion of artists who continue to create, no matter the circumstances.
