Between Broadway and Off-Broadway, Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall, Chelsea galleries and Museum Mile, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by New York’s vast array of cultural happenings. Luckily, the New Yorker’s festival is there to relieve some of the pressure—at least for a little while. Now in its 25th year, the magazine’s annual event brings together some of culture, politics, and science’s finest for three days of film and television screenings, panels, and onstage interviews led by New Yorker staffers. This year’s lineup will include Salman Rushdie in conversation with the editor David Remnick; Sarah Jessica Parker with the staff writer Rachel Syme; Demi Moore with the staff writer Jia Tolentino; and George Saunders and Zadie Smith with the fiction editor Deborah Treisman. In honor of the magazine’s centennial, the Festival will also present the New York premiere of The New Yorker at 100, a Netflix documentary chronicling the publication’s first century and the making of its recent anniversary issue. —Jeanne Malle
