# 2022 New York Film Festival

The 60th New York Film Festival took place from September 30 to October 16, 2022. The opening and closing films of the festival were Noah Baumbach's absurdist comedy-drama White Noise and Elegance Bratton's drama film The Inspection respectively. Laura Poitras' documentary All the Beauty and the Bloodshed was chosen as the center piece film. James Gray's 75th Cannes Film Festival premiered movie, Armageddon Time, was selected to be the festival's celebration movie for its 60th anniversary.
White Noise also received an identical position the 79th Venice Film Festival. All the Beauty and the Bloodshed was chosen to be NYFF's Centerpiece (the movie also is bound to a Venice World Premiere, a North American premiere at the 49th Telluride Film Festival and a Canadian premiere at the 47th Toronto International Film Festival, making it the only movie of the 2022 season to hit all the major four fall film festivals).
