NY film festival reveals lineup: The New York Film Festival on Tuesday unveiled the main slate for its 62nd edition, with selections that include Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or- winning “Anora,” Pedro Almodóvar’s “The Room Next Door” and Mati Diop’s “Dahomey.”

Almodóvar will present “The Room Next Door,” starring Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton, as the festival centerpiece.

Lynch illness limits directing abilities: David Lynch, the iconic screenwriter and director behind surrealist staples “Twin Peaks” and “Eraserhead,” has been diagnosed with emphysema — and he says it has taken a toll on his ability to direct.

The filmmaker, 78, revealed in a recent interview that he has “gotten emphysema from smoking so long” during his life. He said that as a result, “I’m homebound whether I like it nor not.”

Lynch said his health is now a factor in whether he will pursue a new project and how he will go about doing so.

“I would do it remotely if it comes to it,” he said. “I wouldn’t like that so much.”
