February 2023 Art of the Short+Spring Art of the Short

We want to thank the filmmakers who screened with us at the February 2023 Art of the Short film event. The audience response was tremendous and as always it was a lively Q&A. You can check out the films here.

We’ll have the February event highlights video posted on the Q&A page shortly. It’s wonderful to see the continuing re-emergence of the indie scene over the past 6 months. Nothing beats artmaking and the inspiration from being in the same room with other artists.

Upcoming Art of the Short Date Change

Hi all,

We hope you’re enjoying the Holiday season. In lieu of a recent surge in Covid cases we’ve decided to reschedule the upcoming Art of the Short event. The January 6th event has been rescheduled for Thursday, January 20, 2022.

We hope this slight rescheduling in the date finds us at a more opportune time to safely host an in-person event. As nothing beats meeting the filmmakers in real-life. At this time, we see no reason to postpone further, and again, we hope cases begin to decline in short order.

If you submitted a film for the January event, we will still send out notices very shortly about the lineup and will post the full lineup by the end of this coming week, Dec. 23.

The event is still occurring at our beautiful, East Village, home base, Wild Project. Have a Safe and Wonderful remainder of the year!

All the best,

NYNL

Check out the Q & A’s from our most recent event, the 2021 Summit, here. Thank you to our moderators who took time out of their busy schedules to support indie film, the wonderful filmmakers who were in attendance and those who couldn’t make it, and the supportive audiences.

We look forward to meeting more of you, again, in the coming year. Our next event is the 2022 Art of the Short film event on Thursday, January 6 at Wild Project.

If you have a short film, check it out, and submit your film. We’d love to screen your work.

Accepting Short Films for 2022, New Podcast Posted

Our 2022 season is officially open. We’re now accepting short films under 39 minutes in length for our first Art of the Short Film event, January 6th, 2022 at Wild Project. All genres accepted, student and foreign language films are encouraged to submit. We’ll host three Art of the Short Film events in 2022 and our annual Summit in October, 2022.

2021 Film Summit Announcement

Our goal each year is to hold at least three Art of the Short FIlm events prior to the year-end film Summit. Our timeline for this year has been thrust ahead more quickly this year. Due to some extenuating circumstances, primarily the events of Covid-19, we are producing the 2021 Summit presented by Wild Project, October 1 - 3, 2021. The dates are Friday to Sunday. Initially we had planned to produce another Art of the Short but things remain fluid with regards to flexibility.

This generally means that things are continuing to open up in NYC, not the opposite, which we are glad that is the case, and we hope it continues. Additionally, we plan to hold 100% in person capacity for the event, but public health guidelines will be implemented for live audiences. Our plan is to also present the Summit virtually via our digital platform.

Once again the Summit will occur October 1 - October 3, 2021 at Wild Project, 195 E. 3rd St. NYC. We hope to see you soon.
