Few words have as much confused resonance as "love." Translatable across the many languages and cultures of humanity, its pursuit is ubiquitous and often considered among our most noble endeavors. And yet the drives, dynamics, and textures of this heralded emotion are far from straightforward.
Secrets of the Heart is an opportunity to show an original short (1-20 minutes) about one of the more beguiling aspects of the human condition (love) in front of an audience in New York City, where the Secrets series of film festivals has found a niche among informed cinephiles for over a decade.
Secrets Film Festivals do not offer awards or prizes.
Secrets of the Heart will premiere at Film Noir Cinema in Brooklyn. Before covid and the lockdowns, we would take the film programs to other locations as well, but we are only now re-establishing the underground cinema supply chain.
In addition to our longstanding relationship with Film Noir Cinema, previous festivals have also screened at: The Berkeley Video and Film Festival;The Gene Frankel Theater in Manhattan; The 21C Museum-Hotel in Lexington (KY): The Reverb in Baltimore; HOWL! Gallery in Manhattan; Tron Page in Manhattan; The Ark Theater in North Hollywood (LA); The Sunview Luncheonette in Brooklyn; The Norwood Club in Manhattan; and The Lookout in Washington, DC.
