FALL SERIES [ October, November, December ]

WHILE NEW YORK THEATERS ARE CLOSED, WE WILL BE RUNNING WEEKLY ONLINE SCREENINGS & ONLINE Q&A'S UNTIL THE HEALTH EMERGENCY IS OVER.

WE WILL BE SCREENING MANY FILMS THAT WE SCREENED ONLINE DURING THIS PERIOD WITH THEATRICAL SCREENINGS ONCE NEW YORK THEATERS ARE ALLOWED TO OPEN.

THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE NEW YORK THEATERS WILL BE FULLY OPEN THIS FALL.

NewFilmmakers NY is New York's longest running screening series.

Events are held weekly at Anthology Film Archives, 32 Second Avenue New York, NY. Anthology is New York's iconic theater opened in 1970 by Jonas Mekas, Jerome Hill, P. Adams Sitney, Peter Kubelka, and Stan Brakhage. For more information see http://anthologyfilmarchives.org/about/about

NewFilmmakers screens roughly 700 short and feature length projects throughout the year grouped into special interest nights. Some of our ongoing programs include NewLatino, Middle East, Christian Sex, Upcoming Women, Experimental, and Crime & Punishment. NewFilmmakers is an international series with an eye towards films shot in the tri-state (NY - NJ - PA) and surrounding areas.

Throughout it's 23 year run NewFilmmakers has provided a platform for first time and veteran filmmakers. This doesn't need to be your first film to submit to NewFilmmakers. Some of the films we have had the pleasure of screening include Indie Spirit Award winner "Too Much Sleep," "The Blair Witch Project," and Academy Award winner "Mr. Hublot".
