Film at Lincoln Center unveils the 62nd New York Film Festival poster designed by visionary artist David Byrne. NYFF posters are a yearly artistic signature of the film festival, and Byrne joins a stellar lineup of renowned artists who have contributed their work to the festival, including Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, David Hockney, Saul Bass, John Waters, Cindy Sherman, Pedro Almodóvar, Kara Walker, Nan Goldin, and Jim Jarmusch.

Byrne says of his design: “I am honored to be invited to do this poster. Ever since I’ve lived in New York, the NYFF posters have been iconic-the invited artists-a who’s who of artists and designers. I thought to myself, ‘Won’t it be nice to remind folks what going to the movies feels like?’ During the pandemic we missed that experience, but I wanted to let folks know we can enjoy it again. So I wrote down all the things people do in movie theaters besides watching the movie—kissing, sleeping, eating, laughing, crying, terror, joy—we’re in a room with strangers, all experiencing the same thing. Thanks to all the volunteers, the Walter Reade Theater staff, Todomundo, Pace Gallery, and Artists for Humanity.” 

The limited-edition posters are now available for purchase via Posteritati. Additionally, a limited number of posters will be available for purchase during the festival at Film at Lincoln Center’s merchandise store located in Alice Tully Hall. FLC Members receive a 10% discount on the poster.
