Presented by Film at Lincoln Center, the New York Film Festival highlights the best in world cinema. The festival continues a long-standing tradition of introducing audiences to bold and remarkable works from celebrated filmmakers as well as fresh new talent.

 New York Film Festival Director Eugene Hernandez said, “We are thrilled to be working with Campari once again to elevate our most important event of the season. In a unique year for the festival and for us all, it is so meaningful to continue collaborating with a partner that values our core mission—to support the art of cinema."

Below are 3 movies with the perfect Campari cocktail.

The Human Voice Dir: Pedro Almodóvar 

Tilda Swinton swallows up the screen as a woman traumatized by the end of a relationship in Pedro Almodóvar’s new short film. An impeccably designed yet combustible adaptation of Jean Cocteau’s 1930 play The Human Voice, it marks the Spanish director’s English-language debut.

Spike Lee’s film of David Byrne’s acclaimed Broadway show is an exhilarating record of a seismic theater event as well as a momentous work of cinema in its own right. Both joyous and politically engaged, it’s a reckoning of these dark times through music and togetherness, with a galvanizing rendition of Janelle Monáe’s “Hell You Talmbout” that’s destined to be one of the year’s most talked-about screen moments.

Drink Pairing: The Americano

  • 1 part (1 oz.) sweet vermouth
