Fifth Annual Inwood Film Festival — March 14 to 15

The festival has expanded to 12 programs, including nine screening sessions on Saturday and Sunday, March 14–15, and three special seminars: Stykz Digital Animation for Kids, Sound Design for Documentary Filmmaking, and Filmmaking A to Z. Details of the screenings and films are listed below.

Opening Night Benefit is Friday, March 13, at 6.30 p.m. featuring a special presentation of the Past, Present, and Future of the Inwood Film Festival and delicious food and beverages from Indian Road Café, Dyckman Beer Company, and ChocNYC.

Before and after screenings guests can mingle in The Red-Carpet Community Room, a hip hub to connect filmmakers and audiences at the exclusive use of all Inwood Film Festival ticketed patrons before and after each screening. Enjoy a glass of wine from Indian Road Café or a Dyckman Beer and come to connect with neighbors before the show, stay afterward to discuss the films, meet like-minded folk, and hob-nob with local movers n’ shakers.

After the last screenings on each day there will be conversation with some of the day’s filmmakers. Following the final post-screening discussion, approximately 8 p.m. on Sunday, visitors will retire to theater for Inwood Film Festival’s awards for Excellence in Filmmaking to be presented by Manhattan Borough President, Gale A. Brewer.
