"This year's lineup reflects the uncertainties and tragedies of our global situation in 2025, yet demonstrates the resilience of cinema and emerging talents."
"A number of films in this year's lineup take up the challenge of recovering and reconceptualizing human connection as a cherished value."
The 54th annual New Directors/New Films festival will be held from April 2 to April 13, 2025, featuring 24 features and nine short films, with many North American premieres. Opening the festival is Sarah Friedland's award-winning "Familiar Touch," focusing on an elderly woman's surreal transition to assisted living. The festival will close with Alex Russell's directorial debut, "Lurker." The event emphasizes risk-taking works by emerging filmmakers, mirroring the pressing themes of connection and resilience amidst societal hardships, as noted by ND/NF Co-Chair Dan Sullivan.
