The 51st New York Film Festival took place from September 27 to October 13, 2013, in New York City, presented by Film at Lincoln Center.

The festival's opening film was Paul Greengrass' Captain Phillips. Ben Stiller's The Secret Life of Walter Mitty was the festival's centerpiece. While Spike Jonze's Her was the festival's closing film.

Appearing in NYFF's "Main Slate" for the first time were: agnès b., Alain Guiraudie, Ben Stiller, Corneliu Porumboiu, Declan Lowney, James Franco, Jehane Noujaim, J. C. Chandor, Joe Brewster and Michèle Stephenson, Lav Diaz, Ralph Fiennes, Richard Curtis, Rithy Panh, and Sebastián Lelio.

The Festival also included talks with Richard Curtis, James Gray, Paul Greengrass, Agnieszka Holland, and Frederick Wiseman.

It was the first edition of the Festival following the retirement of longtime festival Artistic director Richard Peña, succeeded by Kent Jones.[1] The lineup saw a larger Main Slate selection than prior years, the addition of the documentary and "Emerging Artists" sections, and the renaming of the previous "Masterworks" program as "Revivals".

The Jean-Luc Godard retrospective was programmed by Kent Jones and Jake Perlin, and Views from the Avant-Garde was programmed by Mark McElhatten. Convergence was curated by Matt Bolish and Eugene Hernandez.[2][3][4][5]
