Ava DuVernay's Documentary '14th' to Premiere at NYFF as Closing Night Feature

Ava DuVernay's latest documentary, titled '14th', is set to make its world premiere on October 9, 2026, as the closing night film of the 64th New York Film Festival (NYFF). This event holds particular significance, as it marks a decade since DuVernay's earlier work, '13th', opened the same festival. Both films delve into critical issues surrounding race and justice in the United States, with '13th' focusing on the implications of the 13th Amendment and its impact on mass incarceration.

'14th' aims to continue the conversation initiated by its predecessor by exploring the ongoing challenges related to civil rights and systemic inequality. The documentary is expected to provide a timely examination of contemporary social issues, resonating with audiences as discussions around these topics remain prevalent in society.
