NYC international film festival Winter Film Festival showcases 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. Our mission is to promote diversity, bridge the opportunity divide and provide a platform for under-represented artists and a variety of genres, viewpoints and approaches. We believe that only by seeing others’ stories can we understand each other and only via an open door can the underrepresented artist enter the room. Read more about WFF2025
People are making films in the world’s biggest cities and tiniest villages. We believe that everyone deserves a fair shot to get their voice heard! We seek to show different genres, different viewpoints, different stories, different perspectives and different countries. We seek to show the work of men and women and non-binary, gay and straight and bi and other, and the work of black, white, Asian, Latino and everyone else in any combination. We seek to show the work of people from right here in New York and also from every corner of the world. We seek to show comedies and romances and dramas and horror and documentaries and experimental and the weird and the unusual and the universal and the controversial. We seek to show films made for virtually zero budget and films made with multi-million dollar budgets. We seek to show you something you haven’t seen before or didn’t realize exists. We want you to laugh, cry, dance, learn, hide in terror and/or have your mind blown.
