Long Island Film Festival is accepting submissions for its 27th season, 2010 Fall program schedule. In addition to our usual genres, we are especially seeking to screen films of Social Justice.
Venues to include the following:
Bay Street Theatre, Sag Harbor and the Boulton Center for the Performing Arts, Bay Shore
Entry submissions have been extended to August 1, 2010.Our MISSION is to discover, promote and give venue to independent filmmakers, not just from the greater New York area, but from other regions of America and abroad. For 26 years, the Long Island Film Festival has presented high quality film programs and has made a major contribution to the Long Island community by promoting films that are entertaining, educational and enhance the general public's understanding of cinema culture and the humanities.During those 26 years, we have witnessed filmmaking transform itself from a strictly film medium to a highly technological global digital art form with sophisticated software operating on specially configured computers. As a result, there are more filmmakers attempting to break into the film industry. It is those new filmmakers that the Long Island Film Festival seeks to discover.
Our World Lens series focuses on foreign Indie filmmakers that are producing films that are pieces of their culture and set in economic, social, environmental, and political spheres. It is the commitment of the Long Island Film Festival to bring these films to America and present these perspectives to Long Islanders to enlighten and enhance their understanding of the world around us.
Our World Lens series includes films from our International Film Festival Exchange Program that includes the Kerry Film Festival in Ireland. Every year the Kerry Film Festival and the Long Island Film Festival exchange films that are included in both festivals. This emphasizes our commitment to expand cinema culture to the Long Island community
