The 64th New York Film Festival will premiere two films, "A Statement" by Tom McCarthy and "Joy of Joys" directed by Jonathan Glazer, as part of the Spotlight lineup.

The film stars Paul Rudd, Paul Giamatti, Evan Peters, Tatiana Maslany, John Turturro and Amy Ryan. "Joy of Joys" is a documentary about the recording of "HELP(2)," a charity album benefiting children in war zones, made with English musician Mica Levi. Other films in the Spotlight selection include Cristian Mungiu's "Fjord," Werner Herzog's "Bucking Fastard," Jesse Eisenberg's "The Debut," and Eleanor Coppola's "Making Marie Antoinette."
The festival runs from September 25 to October 12, with James Gray's "Paper Tiger" opening, Tony Gilroy's "Behemoth!" as the Centerpiece, and Ava DuVernay's "14th" closing.
