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 thirteen outstanding films directed by Asian women. The program includes bold and intimate stories that explore identity, belonging, and self-expression across cultures and genres. Through drama, comedy, animation, music and documentary, these works examine personal transformation, societal expectations, and emotional resilience, and showcase the creative range and distinctive voices of Asian women filmmakers shaping contemporary independent cinema.
All screenings take place at REGAL Union Square (850 Broadway). Tickets are available at https://wff2026.eventcombo.com/.
