on our filmmaker mailing list to receive NYICFF Entry Forms and deadline notices

NYICFF presents passionate, intelligent, provocative film and video for ages 3-18. Each year the festival scours the globe to present a highly selective slate of the best animation, live action, documentary and experimental film from around the world. We are looking for creative, original, non-formulaic works that will help to define a new, more compelling film for kids. We are not shy about showing films with mature themes, subject matter, language or sensibilities—especially for our teen and pre-teen audiences. If you are in doubt about the suitability of your film, we urge you to submit the work and let the NYICFF selection committee make the determination. Festival guidelines and regulations are included on the entry form.
