Dear Asian filmmakers, the New York International Children’s Film Festival (USA) is accepting films until December 15, 2024.

About the festival:
Established in 1997, NYICFF’s mission is rooted in the belief of film as a path for young people to understand themselves and others. All programs are designed to celebrate the beauty and power of film, spark the inherent capacity of children to connect with complex, nuanced art, and encourage the creation of intelligent films that represent and celebrate unique, diverse, and historically excluded voices. NYICFF serves children, students, families, educators, filmmakers, and media arts professionals through its three core activities: the annual, Oscar®-qualifying NYC film festival and national touring program; Film-Ed, a media arts and literacy program; and Toward an Inclusive Future, an annual industry forum.

Eligibility:
– The festival accepts short films (under 40 minutes) and feature films (over 40 minutes), fiction, documentary, and animation.
