Premiering the best in cinema from around the world.

NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2008ûû The North American premiere of Clint EastwoodÆs Changeling will be featured as Centerpiece of the 46th New York Film Festival and Darren AronofskyÆs The Wrestler is the festivalÆs Closing Night selection, the Film Society of Lincoln Center announced today. A newly restored print of Max OphulsÆs final masterwork Lola MontÞs will be featured as the festivalÆs spotlight retrospective. All three films headline the festivalÆs 28-film main slate, which will screen at the Ziegfeld Theatre, Sept. 26 û Oct. 12.

General ticketing information

Tickets for the general public will go on sale Sunday, Sept. 7, at 12:00 noon at Avery Fisher Hall, corner of Columbus Avenue and 65th St.; Monday, Sept. 8, online at filmlinc.com; and on Saturday, September 27 at the Ziegfeld Theater, 141 West 54th St.

JMS's response to Dan's post on the newsgroup:

At this point, I'm planning to be at the Deauville Film Festival and
the New York Film Festival for the premieres there. There still
hasn't been any confirmation that I've seen on the others, so until
there's an announcement, I'm hanging fire. I don't yet have a firm
date on when Changeling screens, only that it's somewhere in the
middle of the festival.

Should be pretty exciting all around.

à Clint EastwoodÆs Cannes entry ôChangeling,ö which will be the centerpiece of the New York Film Festival, will not be at Toronto because there was uncertainty about new mother Angelina JolieÆs availability to participate in a gala premiere.

ôWe would have loved to have had Clint Eastwood,ö said Bailey, ôbut the only way to present the movie in a big way was as a gala with Eastwood and Jolie.öà

New York film festival stocked with Cannes titles
New movies from directors Clint Eastwood, Darren Aronofsky and Steven Soderbergh highlight the line-up of the 46th New York Film Festival, which begins September 26. Seventeen of the 28 foreign-language-heavy titles appeared at the Cannes Film Festival in May, including SoderberghÆs four-hour-plus Spanish-language biopic Che and EastwoodÆs Changeling, which stars Angelina Jolie. French Palme dÆOr winner The Class was previously announced as the festivalÆs opening selection.

EastwoodÆs Changeling, an Oscar-hyped kidnap thriller, will screen in the prestigious Centerpiece spot on October 4.

AronofskyÆs Mickey Rourke drama The Wrestler,which the director expects will make its world premiere at the Venice International Film Festival on September 5, will close New York on October 12. All screenings will be held at the Ziegfeld Theatre. Universal will release Changeling domestically on October 24 and Sony Pictures Classics The Class on December 12. ...

Note: Changeling will is not on the schedule for the 65th Venice International Film Festival.

I attended some of the press screenings last year for my website, but wasn't planning on it this year, due to finances and time constraints. Still, I might try to getcredentials just for the screening/press conference for CHANGELLING.

At this point, I'm planning to be at the Deauville Film Festival and
the New York Film Festival for the premieres there. There still
hasn't been any confirmation that I've seen on the others, so until
there's an announcement, I'm hanging fire. I don't yet have a firm
date on when Changeling screens, only that it's somewhere in the
middle of the festival.

Should be pretty exciting all around.

Sadly, I had to cancel at the last minute due to the press of work.
Still planning to attend the New York festival, though.
