The Film Society of Lincoln Center announces Ang Lee’s highly anticipated “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk” as a Special World Premiere Presentation of the 54th New York Film Festival (September 30 – October 16) on Friday, October 14, at AMC Lincoln Square.
New York Film Festival Director and Selection Committee Chair Kent Jones said, "Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk astonished me, and it moved me deeply—in the grandest way, as a story of America in the years after the invasion of Iraq, and on the most intimate person-to-person wavelength. Ang Lee has always gone deep into the nuances of the emotions between his characters, and that’s exactly what drove him to push cinema technology to new levels. It’s all about the faces, the smallest emotional shifts. In every way, `Billy Lynn' is the work of a master."
