Festival description (Edition: 6)

Festival start: 16 April 2025 Festival end: 19 April 2025

Welcome to New York True Venture Film Festival, an event dedicated to empowering independent filmmaking.

NYTVFF is an IMDb Award Listing Qualifier and a New York-based film festival that shares the dedication and passion for bringing independent short and full feature films to the big screen. We believe that by giving the opportunity to the new ideas of intelligent and unique creators, we would give the audience the chance to appreciate their art.

The New York True Venture Film Festival screening will be held from April 16th to April 18th, 2025, where the festival and the audience will screen award-winning films.

The Awards Ceremony will conclude on April 19th, 2025.

Please be advised that filmmakers who attend have priority in the film screening schedule. We are a screening festival and a filmmakers-supported festival. There are no free comps. Filmmakers attending will have a Q & A session after their screening.
