International Film Festival Manhattan

nternational Film Festival Manhattan Virtual Events 2020

THE CALL FOR ENTRIES IS CLOSED.

Note: Due to the Worldwide Pandemic, the International Film Festival Manhattan will be doing Virtual Events happening online on November 19 to 22, 2020. Decision to do so was because of the lockdowns and limited travel around the world due to the Pandemic. There is also lack of live events happening in NY. Meanwhile, we plan to do meaningful (for the filmmakers and audience alike) Virtual Events Online.

International Film Festival Manhattan NYC Merchandise (Premium T-Shirts, Sweaters, Mugs and Pompom Beanies) are available at https://sparkph.store/collections/iffm

International Film Festival Manhattan Virtual Events will be donating $2 of each Sold Ticket to the Typhoon victims of #UlyssesPH #RollyPH in the Philippines via the efforts of Barangay Ayala Alabang, together with the Sangguniang Kabataan and BAA Youth organizations.

New York City is the capital of the world, a place where the world converges. And we would like to celebrate international and independent films.

IFFM believes in filmmakers and will give support in showcasing their works in NY, by giving them the full NY theatrical experience! All invaluable in fostering film careers in this age of hybrid and self distribution. It starts by helping filmmakers find their audience in NY by giving them opportunities to promote their film.
