About Us

The NYC Independent Film Festival will strive to promote an open and nurturing environment for artists, writers, actors, filmmakers and fans, and will focus on offering great networking opportunities for its participants. This first annual film festival gives start to a great new tradition of promoting new and emerging voices in film, spoken word and art similar to the Tribeca and NYC Downtown Film Festivals.

The Astoria/LIC area has been dubbed "The United Nations of New York City"; according to newspapers, with people from 120 different countries living and working in these diverse and eccentric New York neighborhoods. Astoria/LIC is a terrific host for this new tradition, on par with such established art locales as the Village, SoHo or Williamsburg.

We have every intention of making the festival successful and memorable for years to come.
