Four were named for both NYFF and TFF #47: Nomadland, Notturno, MLK/FBI and The Truffle Hunters. The NYFF list also included a couple of films that I thought might be TFF choices: City Hall and Undine as well as the Steve McQueen films: Mangrove, Lover's Rock and Red White and Blue.
The New York Film Fest is scheduled to run from Sept. 25-Oct. 11.
Here's rundown of the NYFF films with some commentary from Indiewire.
With the addition of the New York choices, here is the updated list of films that would be playing TFF #47 and the other film fests which have also scheduled some of those titles:

TRUFFLES APPEAR IN ZURICH
The day after we found out that TFF #47 selection The Truffle Hunters (dir: Michael Dweck and Gregory Kershaw) had been selected for the New York Film Festival came news that the film was among the first 10 Gala Selections for the the Zurich Film Festival.
You could say it was a good week for the documentary that focuses on the exploits of three septuagenarian Italians as they forage for the delicacy. IMDb describes the film as follows:
"Deep in the forests of Piedmont, Italy, a handful of men, seventy or eighty years young, hunt for the rare and expensive white Alba truffle-which to date has resisted all of modern science's efforts at cultivation."
ZFF will announce the remainder of its lineup on Sept. 14th.
Linked here are details of the selections announced Friday from Variety.
TFF #47 FILM FIRST ANNOUNCED FOR INTERNATIONAL OSCAR
Poland wasted no time declaring that Never Gonna Snow Again from director Malgorzata Szumowska will be its entry for the 2021 International FIlm Oscar race. That news was reported by Deadline.
Never Gonna Snow Again was one of 29 films named to Telluride's list of films that would have played had the film fest been able to go forward. The film is also set to premiere as a part of the Venice Film Festival lineup.
Here's its IMDb description:
"A Ukrainian migrant working as a masseur in Poland becomes a guru-like figure in the gated community where his clients live."
And here's the link to the Deadline story.
