Queens World Film Festival 2024 Brings the World to Queens, and Queens to the World


Queens World Film Festival is a film festival of emerging filmmakers that brings the world to Queens, and Queens to the world.

The filmmakers of Queens have a unique vision. Queens is the most diverse region of the world’s most diverse city, and the starting point of many New Yorker’s American life. New Yorkers deal with a range of experiences that is broader than just about anywhere else. New York City is one of the few places in the world where anything is possible. New New Yorkers find themselves in a world of possibility which is the inspiring foundation for many of the films in the Queens World Film Festival.

New York City is about networking, and so is the Queens World Film Festival. It’s stimulating to be around fellow travelers and others who are farther into their filmmaking journey. The festival includes development workshops. Some alumni go on to important careers in film and television. Go and meet your destiny!
