OUR STORY

Run by teens for teens, NYCTFF is New York's premiere film festival for aspiring filmmakers looking to see their art on the big screen and gain the festival experience. As New York's only student-led, free-to-enter festival, we aim to create a space where all voices can be heard, and all student art can be shared.

 

Official selections are judged by industry professionals in the categories of documentary, editing, cinematography, story, and performances. The best overall film is deemed the "Best in Show."
