FESTIVAL

International New York Short Film Festival

"Street Food themed"

October 2-3, 2023  Manhattan, New York

online and physical participation

​

The origin of street foods largely relies on the cultural and natural landscapes that surround the environments where they are prepared and sold. Street food illustrates a culinary heritage that is embedded in the ways of life of people, both residents and visitors.

​

In many places around the world, local communities and their daily lives have been affected positively by their street food cultures that bring together people in unison. Eating together brings people close and allows them to strive for one another in every possible manner.

​

Street food tourism is a major part of all global travel now and hence it has been supporting and boosting the economy of many small and big countries. As a matter of fact there are many countries and cities around the world that depend extensively on tourism – street food is a boon for all of them.

​

As the New York Short Film Festival Team, we decided to organize a short film festival with the theme of "street food" for the first time in the world, in the last quarter of 2023. You can bring the street food culture in your country and around you to the New York Film Festival, an internationally prestigious platform, with a short film you will make. The short films you send will be brought to the big screen in New York and will be included in the digital catalog that will be registered and published on your behalf with the ISBN number to be given to your work.
