Here’s what filmmakers are saying about us:
“A wonderful experience and I expect the good word of mouth will continue to grow the festival. It was obvious your team put a good deal of work leading up to the event...As you know, we stumbled upon the festival last year as visitors and were really impressed with the quality of films, workshops and overall organization of the event. This year, we had the same impression. Yofi is one of the best film festivals that I have attended and I encourage other filmmakers to submit here. I look forward to attending again next year!”
- Kal Toth, Director, Building Magic
“Thank you again for giving us the opportunity to screen ...with Birthday Cake. It was a great experience for everybody. I can tell you guys put so much effort into the event.

You are getting to be REALLY well-known!”

"From YoFi’s first screening on Thursday to the last one on Sunday, the Red Carpets, the Receptions, the very informative Panels (I loved the one about Independent Film Distribution), you really did everything right. It was neat to see how the festival has grown and how filmmakers came from near and far to participate. The friendly and nurturing environment felt especially welcoming and we will most certainly be back, whether or not we are attending with a film or simply as supportive audience members.”
- Carina Rush, Producer, No Letting Go
Many, many thanks for including our short film, Time is the Longest Distance, in this year’s line-up of YoFiFest. Being part of a festival in my home county, Westchester, and meeting some other local filmmakers felt special and was most enjoyable. It was wonderful to see how YoFiFest has developed over the past few years. Keep up with the great work!
A heartfelt thank you from director Bryan Powers and me for all your support for our film, as well as the effort and creativity you put into this terrific festival.
- Claudia Murdoch, Producer, Time is the Longest Distance
Thanks for hosting Martin’s Hagge last week. It was a pleasure attending and meeting such terrific people from Yonkers and abroad.

Hope to see you next year!
- Penny Eizenga, Writer/Director Martin’s Hagge
Located on the Hudson River and adjacent to New York City, the festival draws its film-friendly audiences from NYC, Westchester county, Rockland county, the Hudson Valley and the entire NY/NJ/CT tri-state region. It's a chance for filmmakers to screen work to an enthusiastic audience and top film professionals in a warm, fun, friendly and supportive atmosphere.
In short, we love great stories, we love our filmmakers, and we love connecting audience and filmmakers. We are looking for personal, innovative, imaginative and compelling stories that are well told. We want passionate filmmakers with a fresh point of view, traditional story tellers who dig deep to find the truth and courageous, new visionaries coming to filmmaking for the first time. We are not overly hung up on when the movies were made or if they are premiers. We just want to share good work with a thoughtful audience that wants to see your work.
YoFiFest is easy to get to, fun to hang out at and not to be missed!

It was born from the Homonimo project carried out in 2018 TO MAKE A FILM SCHOOL, a space where different Latin American audiovisual groups came together to lay the foundations to create a film school in Solano/Quilmes.
Currently, this initial experience and through the festival could give shape to the ARROYO SCHOOL, which brings together 40 boys, girls and young people from the neighborhoods on one side of the Las Piedras stream.
Everything raised by this festival is intended to continue with the community film experience and the future construction of the first community film school in Argentina.
