★ IMDb Qualifying Festival ★

New York Movie Awards is an International Monthly Film Festival with monthly live screenings.

New York is the cultural center of the world and for us, films are the highest point of the culture. Our mission is to promote films, and be another step up in the filmmakers' careers.

Every last Sunday of the month, a selection of winning films will be screened in the East Village at the Kraine Theater.

The Kraine Theater is one of the most well known downtown venues featuring Off and Off-Off Broadway productions year round.

In the last few years we rewarded important movie stars as Anita Ekberg, Jon Voight, Malcolm McDowell, Terrence Howard, Jeremy Piven, Eric Roberts, Toni Garnn, and many more actors and directors from all around the world.
