“Jay Kelly” | October 23

“Jay Kelly,” directed by Academy Award nominee Noah Baumbach, follows renowned movie actor, Jay Kelly (George Clooney), on a journey of introspection as he confronts both his past and current self, with the support of his dedicated manager Ron (Adam Sandler).

“Nuremberg” | October 24

“Nuremberg” depicts the real-life war crimes trials conducted by the Allies against the defeated Nazi leadership. The film focuses on American psychiatrist Douglas Kelley (Rami Malek), who must ascertain whether Nazi detainees are competent to face trial for their crimes and becomes ensnared in a psychological duel with former Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe), Hitler’s confidant.

“Dead Man’s Wire” | October 25 – Afternoon

Gus Van Sant’s latest is the remarkable real-life tale of a notorious 1977 abduction and ransom linked to a failed business deal, where the kidnapper (Bill Skarsgård) demands compensation and an apology from the mortgage broker whose firm wronged him.

“Christy” | October 25 – Evening

In David Michôd’s inspiring biopic “Christy,” Christy Martin (Sydney Sweeney), originally from a humble West Virginia town, never envisaged life beyond it until she discovered her punching prowess. Driven by grit and determination, she enters the boxing world under her trainer and eventual husband, Jim (Ben Foster). However, while Christy’s fiery demeanor shines in the ring, her most arduous challenges await outside it—battling family issues, identity crises, and a potentially life-threatening relationship.

“The Spongebob Movie: Search for Squarepants” (world premiere) | October 26 – Afternoon

Eager to prove his mettle, SpongeBob embarks on a comic seafaring adventure following The Flying Dutchman, a ghostly pirate, in a quest to demonstrate his courage to Mr. Krabs, venturing into the ocean’s deepest reaches where no sponge has ventured before.

“Song Sung Blue” (world premiere) | October 26 – Evening

“Song Sung Blue” stars Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson as down-on-their-luck musicians who form a Neil Diamond tribute band, proving it’s never too late to find love and follow your dreams.

Additionally, “Bad Apples,” “Bugonia,” “The Choral,” “The Chronology of Water,” “Is This Thing On?,” “A Magnificent Life,” “Merrily We Roll Along,” “Nebraska Live,” “Rebuilding,” “Rental Family,” “The Testament of Ann Lee” and “Train Dreams” will be among the films featured in the Special Screenings section.

The full slate of films will be announced September 30.
