Submit Your Film to the NYWIFT Member Screening Series
The New York Women in Film & Television Member Screening Series is a unique opportunity for NYWIFT members to showcase their work in a theatrical setting. The series features a diverse array of projects from both established and emerging filmmakers in celebration of our community of women filmmakers.
Generally, we feature a mix of virtual and in-person screenings. Due to high demand and the rising costs of in-person theatrical presentations, we cannot guarantee everyone an in-person slot. If you have already confirmed an in-person screening on your own and are looking for NYWIFT to co-present, please reach out to us asap at communications@nywift.org in addition to submitting here. Alternately, if you have a strong desire for your film to screen virtually, please note it in your submission.
Screenings are followed by a Q&A with the filmmaker / creative team.

Eligibility
The NYWIFT member screening is open to all current members of NYWIFT.
Films are selected and notified on a rolling basis for screening in the series. Due to high demand, screening is not guaranteed though we do our best to accommodate as many members as possible.
Films may be short or feature length and may be paired with other film(s) for the screening.
All genres are welcome.
Projects must feature at least one current NYWIFT member in a key creative role.
Films should have been completed within the last 4 years.
If you have submitted your film in the past we encourage you to submit it again now for future consideration.
Please note: By submitting your film, you confirm that you have or are able to attain the rights to screen this film in a public setting.
These screenings are considered public. Please be aware that a public NYWIFT screening may disqualify you from submitting to certain other festivals. By submitting your film to us, you acknowledge that you are ready and willing for your film to screen publicly now.
