In 2025, as we celebrate our 15th year, the Queens World Film Festival will move to October/November instead of our usual spring dates.
Submissions will open in late May 2025 via FilmFreeway.com. This move will allow us the time to reflect on how to honor our past while moving boldly into our future.
If you are on our mailing list, you will get a notice when submissions open. If you are an alumni, you will get an alumni discount code. If you prefer not to be on our mailing list, keep your eye on us via social media.
Meanwhile, as always, expect the unexpected from Queens World
We’ll See You in Queens!
We are expanding The Listening Tour with 54 segments completed and archived at the Queens Memory Project. Our thriving Youth Development and Mentorship programs are on track to provide film production and arts administration experiences to 40 High School and College students. Our school based video production and theatre arts experiences will continue bringing programming into schools across the city. Our Festival Bootcamps and The Film Festival Fusion series will visit colleges and film schools, preparing emerging creatives for entering the industry.
Keep an eye on us, look out for important announcements about screening opportunities, submissions and how you can get involved.
