Film at Lincoln Center Announces NYFF62 Dates & Call for Short Film Submission

The 62nd Edition of the New York Film Festival Will Take Place from September 27th to — October 13th

[New York, NY — February 26, 2024] Film at Lincoln Center announces a call for short film submissions beginning today for the 62nd New York Film Festival (NYFF), taking place from September 27 to October 13. Returning every fall, NYFF has been an enduring part of New York’s rich cultural and historical landscape since 1963. Produced by Film at Lincoln Center, the 62nd edition will run 17 days and promises another slate of essential cinematic offerings from around the world.

Short film submissions will be accepted via FilmFreeway from February 26 through May 6, and for the duration of this window. The submission fee will help fund a seasonal staff of short film submissions screeners as well as additional festival operations, including artist support. NYFF is noncompetitive, and all sections are curated by the selection committee with support from an international roster of programming advisors and screeners. Only short films (40 minutes or less) are accepted through FilmFreeway.

Short films submitted on FilmFreeway are considered for NYFF’s Currents section. A complement to NYFF’s Main Slate, Currents traces a more complete picture of contemporary cinema, with an emphasis on new and innovative voices. The section presents a diverse offering of short, medium, and feature-length work by filmmakers and artists working at the vanguard of narrative, documentary, and experimental modes.

NYFF’s call for short film submissions provides an opportunity for new and emerging filmmakers to share their work. In addition to short film submissions collected via FilmFreeway, the NYFF62 selection committee considers recommendations from alumni and industry colleagues, as well as work that has premiered in international festivals and galleries since the previous edition of NYFF. Submitted films will be evaluated by NYFF62 programming staff and considered equally with all other prospective entrants. All films submitted through FilmFreeway will be notified of their status by August 16th.

Last year we reviewed some of the films from the New York Film Festival. You can watch our coverage here.
