The festival, which kicks off on August 31, typically marks the start of a new film awards season, followed closely by the Telluride Film Festival and the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). On Tuesday, the festival released its annual lineup of films.
Most notable of the lineup is the opening night film, Noah Baumbach’s “White Noise,” an adaptation of the Don DeLillo novel and the first time a Netflix movie has opened the festival.
