Official posters for the 62nd New York Film Festival by visionary visual artist, musician, writer, and filmmaker David Byrne, are available now for pre-order, exclusively at Posteritati. 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.
David Byrne: "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"
