Unlike other festivals that charge separately for each award category, the New York Film Screening Festival (NYFSF) lets you compete in 33 award categories with just one submission fee.
NYFSF is a quarterly international festival designed to give filmmakers maximum exposure and opportunity. We host four online screenings per year and one in-person screening annually in New York City, giving your work the chance to be seen both globally and on the big screen.
Every selected film is introduced on our official social media platforms to help you reach a wider audience and build visibility, no matter where you're based.
Quarterly winners will also be automatically considered for the in-person screening event.
We accept films and animations of all genres and lengths. Whether you're a student, emerging artist, or independent creator, NYFSF is here to help your work get seen and open doors to new opportunities.
Quarterly Deadlines:
First Quarter: June 30, 2025
Second Quarter: September 30, 2025
Third Quarter: December 31, 2025
Fourth Quarter: March 31, 2026
