Do you color outside of the lines? Do you have a unique vision?
We have an audience for your film. Queens World wants to hear from you.

The Queens World Film Festival is set to run November 5-9 at the Museum of the Moving Image and Kaufman Astoria Studios with pre-festival events at other Queens cultural organizations.

Queens World will curate the festival with our signature thematic programming, grouping films together that are exploring similar themes in bloc’s with provocative names. Each bloc will be hosted by a festival supporter ready to lead the Q&A between the exhibiting filmmakers and our loyal audiences.

You can expect a robust pre-festival season with events designed to introduce you to our community, the other filmmakers, our industry supporters, elected officials, and collaborators.

First, the Queens World Kickoff Party will bring us all together for a potluck event featuring dishes that reflect the films in the line up. We will be treated to a sampling of trailers, we will shoot live promos, introduce you to everyone, schedule you for other upcoming opportunities AND eat some great food!!!.

Next, The Queens World Presser is always an exciting event that brings participating filmmakers and members of the media together. Both events are in early October, along with photo opportunities, promo shoots, interviews and more so that you can take advantage of your festival experience at Queens World.

We are looking for films that are well-crafted. We like challenges. We want to see something we haven’t seen before. We appreciate a Queens Premier.

We do a Q&A after every screening! We do a Q&A after every screening!

Sometimes, we have to repeat ourselves. We love a film that takes a risk.

We do not like bloopers or gag reels. We want to see what you see.
