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.

International Film Festival Manhattan (IFFM) offers a quality selection of world-class films that will be showcased in downtown Manhattan at the historic Anthology Film Archives. Our programming encompasses all different genres of diverse program. Narrative features, documentaries, shorts and student films from all over the world. We also have a focus on social relevance as part of our programming and our goals.
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. We have a vision that film as a medium can make a positive impact in the world and the belief that New York City and its people is the best place to make this happen. It can be as simple as sharing a laughter or a tear in a short film or making a direct impact on lives across the world in a documentary.
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. IFFM will also be a platform for different causes and social action through the films and events. Enjoy the best of what New York has to offer with our IFFM events which includes: Industry Networking Parties, personalized treatment of filmmakers and their films, opportunity for discussion, Red Carpet and Media Events all in the greatest city in the world.
