Queens Film Festival

Queens Film Festival is proud to announce its launch for our inaugural year of 2024.

Queens Film Festival is a local 501(c)(3) non-profit run by local filmmakers highlighting the next generation of filmmakers celebrating the strong diversity of Queens from the art of filmmaking to its history and the evolution of storytelling.

We aim to expand recognition of what we feel is the greatest borough in New York City. By running the local filmmaker’s platform of opportunities by expanding the local film network by showcasing films that carry riveting and thought-provoking stories. The festival hopes to expand economic development and be a cornerstone of visionary commitment towards this end and a principal resource to artists and the community of Queens at large.

Our festival may be new and entering its first year, but that won’t stop us from pushing forward the envelope of storytelling mediums in the local film community as we are inspired by innovative ways for others to experience the stories we curate hoping to create a more empathic world around us. The themes of renewal and transitoriness continue to play a major role in the social and creative fabric of the Queens Film Festival as we continue to promote the amazing borough of Queens that is melded between states of old and new.
