NewFilmmakers NY is New York's longest running year round Film Festival. Throughout it's twenty-six year run NewFilmmakers has provided a platform for first time and veteran filmmakers.
After many years in theaters, we have taken an exciting new direction with NewFilmmakers called NewFilmmakersPlus which will move our festival into the digital age and allow us to reach international audiences.
While theaters have been closed, our online audiences have greatly exceeded those in theaters. With NewFilmmakers Plus we have added audience participation missing in most online screenings with GroupView, which allows filmmakers, cast, and crew as well as audience members to watch and comment on films together.
In addition our films will now be available for two weeks and screenable any time of the day instead of only one night. This allows more people to see our films and makes it easier to set up a screening event with friends and colleagues. As requested we are switching to filmmaker hosted files utilizing unlisted links which will eliminate the need to transcode and to send us large files as well as giving filmmakers control over their film.
In today’s world online screenings, whether in a film festival or on NetFlix, give filmmakers worldwide audiences instead of limited local ones. With NewFilmmakers Plus filmmakers not only reach worldwide audiences but can interact with them as they would at a traditional theater.
WE WILL ALSO SCHEDULE ADDITIONAL ALTFEST AND YOUNGFILMMAKERS SCREENINGS. YOU CAN SUBMIT HERE OR ON THEIR RESPECTIVE FILMFREEWAY PAGES.
