#NYFF64 is presented in partnership with @ROLEX.
"Exactly a decade after 13th opened the New York Film Festival, it feels especially meaningful to return with 14th as the 2026 Closing Night Selection. NYFF has always been a place where films invite conversation rather than simply applause. To that end, 14th attempts to interrogate a promise powerful enough to change a nation—and controversial enough to divide it for more than 150 years. There’s no better place to begin that conversation than NYFF. I’m grateful to Dennis Lim and team for believing in work that asks difficult questions, and I’m honored to share this film with New York audiences first. On behalf of everyone who worked to tell this story, we hope it leaves people debating, questioning, and, above all, imagining what is still possible.” - Ava DuVernay #NYFF64

Ava DuVernay’s new documentary “14th” is set to premiere on Netflix later this year.
According to the logline: “14th” is centered around the 14th amendment. Written in the wreckage of the Civil War, the 14th Amendment was meant to close the door on the hierarchy of human worth. Instead, it has become a permanent argument. DuVernay’s pulls this constitutional fight out of the footnotes and into the present. The documentary chronicles the vicious battle over the amendment that has raged for over 150 years. Threading deep archival scholarship with piercing headlines of today, “14th” brings together legal minds, politicians, historians and cultural voices in direct conversation with a question America still hasn’t settled: Who gets to belong?
