The Long Island Cinema Festival exists to bring people together through film. We celebrate stories that connect communities, spark conversation, and reflect both where we come from and where we’re going. By creating an inviting space for filmmakers, audiences, and creatives to share work and experiences, the Festival aims to make cinema something that’s felt, discussed, and remembered — not just watched.

For nearly 20 years, we’ve been organizing screenings, premieres, and red-carpet events.
The Long Island Cinema Festival brings emerging and established filmmakers together to grow the Long Island film community and connect it to the world.
