The New York Documentary Film Festival celebrates the art of storytelling through non-fiction. Our mission is to showcase diverse voices and foster meaningful discussions around important themes in documentary filmmaking.
We provide filmmakers with a platform to present their work, engage with audiences, and connect with industry professionals. NYDFF features film screenings, panel discussions, workshops, and networking events tailored for all participants.
Join us in central Manhattan as we honor the creativity and passion behind documentary films. Screen your film to packed out audiences, gain valuable insights from other filmmakers, and be part of a vibrant community that values inclusivity and innovation in storytelling.
Awards are given in several festival categories.
