On March 19th, 2020 Queens World became the 1st festival in the world to produce virtual screenings during the pandemic. Thanks to the filmmakers who shared their films with a world that was suddenly shut down, 30,426 people ‘tuned in’.
In 2021, Queens World launched The Listening Tour and our festival helped to re-open Queens Theatre, MoMI, The Local, The Sherpa Association and Culture Lab with 143 films screening live and in person with a very robust online version running concurrently.
In 2022, The Listening Tour racked up over 9,000 views and the festival produced a sprawling month-long hybrid experience with 157 films from 27 nations screening live in 5 venues for a week and 122 films from 16 nations running online for 2 weeks on FilmFestivalFlix.com.
In 2023 we produced Passion in Action, 15 more Listening Tour Segments, hosted 38 interns from education and cultural organizations and produced scores of Encore Screenings and pop up events.
We share our successes with you as you have been with us every step of the way. We depend on our relationships with supporters like you and we look forward to seeing you at an upcoming event.
Please help us bring HOPE into 2024!
