Queens Film Festival

Queens Film Festival was founded in 2024 with a single purpose in mind: to put Queens on the map as a vital hub for filmmaking and the arts. We aim to expand recognition of what we feel is the greatest borough in New York City. By running the local filmmaker’s platform of opportunities by expanding the local film network by showcasing films that carry riveting and thought-provoking stories. The festival hopes to expand economic development and be a cornerstone of visionary commitment towards this end and a principal resource to artists and the community of Queens at large.

Our festival may be new and entering its first year, but that won’t stop us from pushing forward the envelope of storytelling mediums in the local film community as we are inspired by innovative ways for others to experience the stories we curate hoping to create a more empathic world around us. The themes of renewal and transitoriness continue to play a major role in the social and creative fabric of Queens Film Festival as we continue to promote the amazing borough of Queens that is melded between states of old and new.
