Our mission is to promote diversity, bridge the opportunity divide and provide a platform for under-represented artists and a variety of genres, viewpoints and approaches. We believe that only by seeing others’ stories can we understand each other and only via an open door can the underrepresented artist enter the room.

Winter Film Festival is an IMDB-qualifying Festival. All selected films are screened at NYC’s REGAL Union Square Cinemas. Early Bird Deadline … September 14, Regular Deadline … October 18, Late Deadline … November 15.
