As we welcome in the New Year, we can reveal our annual (non-exhaustive) list of U.S. and international movies we think could grace the festival circuit in 2024. We’ve stuck to our criteria that the project must already be in production and have not already been announced for a festival. More than 70% of our selections last year went on to debut at a major festival. Those that didn’t were largely delayed by the strike or are still in post-production. If the titles below make the cut, it will be a thrilling year on the festival circuit once again.

With both debuting new projects this fall season, Glass Onion star Daniel Crag and Bones and All director Luca Guadagnino are looking to team on a new film. Above the Line reports that it will be an adaptation of the William S. Burroughs novel Queer. “Set in the corrupt and spectral Mexico City of the forties, Queer is the story of William Lee, a man afflicted with both acute heroin withdrawal and romantic and sexual yearnings for an indifferent user named Eugene Allerton,” reads the synopsis of the novel, which was written in the early 50s but not published until 1985. With the director currently in post-production on Challengers, this is expected to be his next film.
