Comments:
Winter Film Festival, like New York City itself, showcases the eclectic diversity and excitement of the independent arts world.
Volunteer, minority, and women-owned, 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 2011 in New York City by a group of filmmakers and enthusiasts.
Mission: To promote diversity, bridge the opportunity divide and provide a platform for under-represented artists and a variety of genres, viewpoints and approaches. The festival believes that only by seeing others’ stories can society understand each other and only via an open door can the underrepresented artist enter the room.
Annual international film festival is a five-day event including film screenings with director Q&A, discussion panels, useful professional development workshops, and parties at venues throughout NYC. Works of all lengths and genres are considered for Festival screening, including narrative Fiction, Documentary, Web Series, Music Videos, Animation and Horror.
