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 13th Annual Winter Film Festival runs February 19-23 2025 in New York City and includes 87 outstanding films, a diverse mixture of animated films, documentaries, comedies, romances, dramas, horror films, music videos and web series of all lengths. Our five-day event is jam-packed with screenings and Q&A sessions at NYC’s LOOK Cinemas, six Education sessions/workshops and a variety of filmmaker networking events all coming to a glittering close on February 23 with our red-carpet gala Awards Ceremony.

Winter Film Festival is dedicated to showcasing the amazing diversity of voices in indie film and our 2025 lineup is half made by women and half by people of color. Filmmakers come from 20 countries and 30% of our films were made in the New York City area.
