The New York Film Festival has announced plans for its 2009 programme just two weeks before its 2008 edition starts, Reuters reported.
The 47th annual festival will focus on the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China and feature a retrospective of movies made between 1949, when the Communists gained power, and the Cultural Revolution in 1966, revisiting the best-known films from that period as well as works less known outside China.
The programme will include the first major American screening for a collection of about 20 films made in the early years of the country's state-run studio system. The 2008 festival begins on September 26 and runs through October 12.
