Winter Film Festival Is New York City. Like the city itself, the organization showcases the eclectic diversity and excitement of the independent arts world. The 14th Annual Winter Film Festival runs February 18-22 2026 in New York City and includes 103 outstanding films, a diverse mixture of animated films, documentaries, comedies, romances, dramas, horror films, music videos and web series of all lengths.
For our 2026 program, Winter Film Festival is honored to screen an incredible collection of nine outstanding films from France. The films highlight the versatility of contemporary independent French cinema, encompassing drama, comedy, documentary, animation and horror. From intimate coming-of-age tales and meditations on memory and loss to imaginative animated works and atmospheric horror, these films reflect a strong commitment to emotional depth and artistic experimentation.
All screenings take place at REGAL Union Square (850 Broadway). Tickets are available at https://wff2026.eventcombo.com/.
