Welcome to the IMDb qualifying New York Independent Cinema Awards!
New York Independent Cinema Awards seeks international and U.S. features and shorts for various categories of the monthly and annual festival.
All the award winners of the monthly edition can also request to be screened online as well.
Every year, we screen our best feature and best short of the year in our live event and screening in New York.
Official selections and award winners of the monthly edition are nominated for the annual festival and will also be promoted on social media, New York Arts & Cinema Magazine, and listed on IMDb.
Members of the jury are chosen from award winning film directors, producers, actors, critics and artists from New York, Chicago, Toronto, Los Angeles and all over the world. We also select our jury from the award winning filmmakers of the past editions.
Our festival is an outstanding event for recognizing talented U.S. and International filmmakers every month and providing the right tools for the official selections and the award winners to succeed in the film industry.
