NYC's 14th annual WINTER FILM FESTIVAL is now open for submissions! We seek creative fresh voices from emerging filmmakers worldwide in all genres and lengths – feature length and shorts, narrative fiction, documentary, animation, horror, web series and music videos.
Winter Film Festival is dedicated to helping emerging filmmakers get recognition and press – The festival includes a highly regarded filmmaker education series, all screenings include director Q&A sessions and we work to ensure our films get written articles, video promos and red carpet interviews. We create an SEO enhanced page on our website for each accepted film, written reviews for all films over 20 minutes and tons of on camera interviews.
Winter Film Festival Is New York City. Like the city itself, we showcase the eclectic diversity and excitement of the independent arts world.
