Join us for the Reel New York Film Festival, a vibrant celebration of independent cinema showcasing filmmakers' creativity worldwide. Set against the iconic backdrop of New York City, this festival is dedicated to supporting and promoting independent voices in film. 

The Reel New York Film Festival aims to create a platform for emerging and established filmmakers to share their unique stories, foster connections, and engage with audiences. In addition to screenings, the festival will feature panels discussions, workshops, and networking events designed to empower filmmakers and provide valuable insight into the industry. 

The Reel New York Film Festival was founded by filmmakers, for filmmakers. We recognize the vital role of constructive criticism in the creative process. Every film submitted will receive thoughtful feedback to support filmmakers' growth and development. While we have a designated notification date, we aim to inform filmmakers as early as possible. This allows us to start promoting their work ahead of the festival through social media, websites, recorded interviews, and more.
