"Music is a prominent thread throughout the festival this year, and the Untitled James Brown Documentary and Bjork: Biophilia Live are great complements to our already exciting slate," director of programming Genna Terranova said. "Nas and his work have been beloved by New Yorkers for years and we are thrilled to be celebrating his music with everyone on opening night."
