INTERNATIONAL NEW YORK FILM FESTIVAL

The 7th Annual International New York Film Festival, (INYFF) will be held in June 2021 in the heart of New York City, TIMES SQUARE! The INYFF is rapidly becoming one of NYC's most exclusive, trendy festivals where all ages of filmmakers as well as celebrities and stars are in attendance!

This year will also include an online screening event with the LIVE Times Square NYC festival. Now, friends, family, cast and crew who aren't able to attend the live event can be part of the online screening festival which will also give us the opportunity to show more films as well.

NOW, screenplay award winners will receive a DISTRIBUTION AWARD! Winning a distribution award will help you raise the funding needed to produce your screenplay into a feature film. Once investors know you have a distribution deal in place it will make it easier to obtain the funding you need to fulfill your dream!

In the INYFF first time filmmakers with no-budgets to seasoned pros with name talent and multi-million dollar budgets screen together in the most eclectic film festival anywhere in NY and the world. Submit today and become part of the INYFF family.

Gold Award distribution winners have the option to accept or refuse the distribution deal. All deliverables must be met including a trailer and the film in a Prores HQ file.

The International New York Film Festival is seeking outstanding filmmakers of all ages. Innovative, creative, unique in their vision. All genre are accepted.

Unfortunately due to the importance of the film submission revenue in operating the Festival we are unable to offer fee waivers. Recognizing the funding challenges that filmmakers face we encourage you to take advantage of the EarlyEarly Bird Deadlines.

INYFF Trophy and certificates. First Place GOLD AWARD winners receive a worldwide distribution deal.

BEST of each category receives the INYFF Trophy. Each 1st place award winner receives a distribution deal.

Second Place, Silver Award. Potential distribution. Distributor may choose some silver award winners for a distribution deal.

Certificates of Merit will be awarded to films that show exceptional potential in their film work.

Not all semi-finalist or official selections are screened but are qualified for all awards and distribution deals.

This festival was able to pull off its program for 2020 online in spite of COVID! For which I'm grateful because it was an opportunity to connect with other filmmakers virtually and get to know people and their work. Also a program like that is a good way to keep learning about film. Shout out to the organizers, they did a great job with communication and overall supporting true indie work!
