Film at Lincoln Center unveiled the films selected for the 64th New York Film Festival’s Currents section.

Currents presents films that expand the possibilities of the form. This year’s Centerpiece selection is Tala Hadid’s “Bardi,” which makes its world premiere at the festival. Hadid immersed herself in the rugged world of horse-riders in central Morocco to follow an equestrian military ritual called Tbourida, which dates back to the 16th century.

The Currents slate also includes “At Night,” a feminist meditation from experimental filmmaker Beatrice Gibson; “London,” from Sebastian Brameshuber, which follows a driver connecting with ride sharers on the Westautobahn between Vienna and Salzburg; Bruno Dumont’s “Red Rocks,” which takes an observational approach to a fanciful story of children in a French Riviera town; Manila-based John Torres’ neo-noir “The Remotes” and Luise Donschen’s “Tomorrow a Long Time Ago,” a lightly supernatural tale set amidst the 1990 German reunification.

Also screening are Greek filmmaker Jacqueline Lentzou’s coming-of-age story “A Day in the Life of Jo: Chapter Phaedra” and Brazilian artist Ana Vaz’s diaristic journey through contemporary Japan in “Hanabi.” 

“Heil Jupiter!” from Mexican auteur Carlos Reygadas, whose “Silent Light” premiered at NYFF45, makes its world premiere at NYFF64, as does Hong Kong-born artist Tiffany Sia’s landscape film “Overt Listening,” which confronts the Cold War legacy of China and Taiwan. 

Éric Baudelaire’s improvisatory collaboration with kids at the National Institute for Blind Youth in Paris, “For the Moon,” makes its world premiere. Ted Fendt’s “Foreign Travel,” following four friends engaging with the books of Anna Maria Ortese over a year in Berlin, will also screen. Dan Sallitt’s “What Can’t Be Mentioned,” which reconnects with characters from his 2021 film “The Unspeakable Act,” makes its world premiere.

As a Currents and Revivals selection, NYFF will showcase the world premiere of a new restoration of “Suicide Notes” by Fred Camper, a diaristic work shot largely in New York in the late 1970s. 

From Argentinean director Mariano Llinás, whose “La Flor” screened at NYFF56, is “Life of Jorge Borges.” The 330-minute work delves into the life of the writer-poet through archives, private collections, rediscovered documents and irreverent narration.

This year’s Currents shorts present NYFF debuts from Yixuan Zhang (“Branching Streams Flow in the Darkness”), Jiaqi Yu (“Moon Palace”) and Cameron Worden (“Day One”).

The shorts feature collaborations from Josh Weissbach and Ben Balcom (“A Correspondence”); Jonathan Seungjoon Lee and painter Huh Yun-hee (“Practice Towards Light”); Laura Poitras, Rachel Lauren Mueller and anonymous Minneapolis residents (“They’re Here”) and Maria Chavez and doris duhennois (“Morne Fortune”).

The slate of shorts also includes “The End” from Artavazd Pelechian, “Forever…Forever” from Johann Lurf, “Fevers” from James Richards and “THe Wayfinders” from Peggy Ahwesh.

NYFF64 runs Sept. 25 through Oct. 12 and screens at Lincoln Center, Brooklyn Academy of Music, the Museum of the Moving Image in Queens, Alamo Drafthouse Cinema on Staten Island and the AMC Bay Plaza Cinema in the Bronx. The Currents section includes 15 feature films and 28 shorts.
