ABOUT
The uptown women’s film festival of New York is a virtual festival to celebrate all women filmmakers from New York City and around the world. The festival looks to bring original stories told through the female lens to a wide audience online.
The UWFFNY looks to inspire future generations of filmmakers and strives to support women filmmakers, giving them a platform to celebrate their achievements and showcase their work.
The festival happens three times a year, in Fall, Winter, and Spring. We will be accepting short film submissions from ALL GENDERS that have female-driven stories and/or a woman appointed in one of the following key positions; director, writer, producer, cinematographer, or editor.
All screening blocks will be hosted by the Eventive Platform with studio-grade DRM protection, and seamless Livestream integration for filmmaker talkbacks, and ticketing.
We will pre-screen every selection in advance to ensure the best-quality version of your film screens for our audience.
There is no premiere status required. However, we will give preference to online premieres.
