The entire film world will be anticipating the buzz around “The Irishman” when it kicks off the New York Film Festival this week, but as NYFF launches the second half of the fall festival season, there is a lot more to its lineup than opening night. Each year, the New York gathering loads up on the some of the buzziest titles of an awards season in the making, but its tightly curated lineup ranges from hidden gems to new documentaries.
