Inwood Art Works proudly announces the programming for its fifth annual Inwood Film Festival, to be held at Columbia University’s Campbell Sports Center in Inwood from June 2-5, 2022. The festival includes 37 films, two seminars, lots of post-show conversations with filmmakers, and plenty of special events. Details of the screenings and all the films are listed below.
The festival includes a special Opening Night Benefit on Thursday, June 2, at 6.30pm, featuring the history of Hollywood filmmaking in the ‘hood, award-winning shorts from our NYC Quarantine Film Festival, and the world premiere presentation of select shorts from the Inwood Filmmaker Fund grantees. Delicious food and beverages will be provided by Amores Café and Dyckman Beer Company.
Before and after the festival screenings, ticket holders can mingle in The Red-Carpet Community Room, a hip hub to connect filmmakers and audiences that is for the exclusive use of all Inwood Film Festival ticketed patrons before and after each screening. Enjoy a glass of wine or a Dyckman Beer and come to connect with neighbors before the show, stay afterward to discuss the films, meet like-minded folk, and hob-nob with local movers n’ shakers.
After the last screenings on each day there will be conversation with some of the day’s filmmakers. Following the final post-screening discussion, at approximately 5:30pm on Sunday, join us in the theater for the announcement of the Inwood Film Festival’s 5th Annual Awards for Excellence in Filmmaking.
And on both Saturday (10pm) & Sunday (6pm) evenings, you can join filmmakers, film aficionados, and the Inwood Art Works team to raise a glass to our Inwood community and its vibrant arts scene. Saturday’s After Party will be held at Tubby Hook Tavern (4946 Broadway) and Sunday’s is hosted by Inwood Farm (600 West 218th Street).
For the first time we will also be hosting IFF+, a special online extension of the Film Festival that will include all the Film Festival programming plus exclusive online screenings of two Inwood Film Festival Filmmaker Fund Films — Filipinos Get Some and Sunspot. The two exclusive films will be available online on June 3, and the rest of the Festival films will be available once the main event ends on June 5.
If there is one positive thing that we’ve learned from the Covid-19 pandemic, it is that our community exists beyond geographical boarders. Our goal for IFF+ is to provide an alternative digital platform that celebrates, showcases, and enhances accessibility to the films of our fantastic local artists.
