NEW YORK — The atmosphere Monday night before the New York Film Festival’s annual surprise screening felt like a movie-world version of Game 7 of the NBA championships. Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall was where everyone who gets deeply nerdy about cinema wanted to be: film critics; guys who can be counted on to declare something a “masterpiece” on X seconds after they’ve seen it; and a smattering of hip, famous people such as Myha’la of HBO’s “Industry,” Christopher Abbott of “Poor Things,” “Eddington” director Ari Aster and SNL’s Sarah Sherman.
