NEWFILMMAKERS NY

The NewFilmmakers Series was begun in 1998 by NYU Film Students in order to show their work and
promote themselves in New York film community. Then, and now, most festivals and screening programs
in the city only screened known and established filmmakers and there were few that are open to new
filmmakers.

Without sacrificing our original mission NewFilmmakers has grown into recognized international
screening series and over the past fourteen years has screened over 600 feature and 2,000 short films.
In 2000 we brought the Havana Film Festival to New York and in 2002 we started the highly successful
NewFilmmakers Los Angeles. Recently we started NewFilmmakers Online.

NewFilmmakers screens a wide range of films including animation, documentaries, shorts, and features.
Many are films and videos overlooked by traditional film festivals. NewFilmmakers NY screens every
week and sometimes more at Anthology Film Archives on the Lower East Side. NewFilmmakers also
programs the Soho House Screening Series in New York & Los Angeles.

NewFilmmakers is sponsored by Barney Oldfield Management, Angelika Entertainment, Prophet Pictures,
SXM, and H2O Distribution.
