The 9th New York Shorts International Film Festival 

The festival is scheduled to proceed as planned with more films and networking events than last year. Film programs will range from a wide spectrum of genres and categories including animation, documentary, drama, comedy, experimental, music videos from New York's finest emerging directors to filmmakers across the globe.

​

New York Shorts International Film Festival is one of the largest showcases of short films in North America.

​

The festival has become a career stepping stone, establishing a tradition of discovering and promoting filmmakers who have gone on to be Academy Awards Nominees. Last year's film line-up included the Oscar-nominated short 'Animal Behaviour' directed by Alison Snowden and David Fine.

New York Shorts 2019 'Best of Fest' winner "The Neighbors' Window" is this years' OSCAR® WINNER for Live-Action Short Film. We congratulate director Marshall Curry and his team.
