Our Mission
Bowery Film Festival in NYC is bringing about a cinematic revolution unseen since the 70’s. We strive to discover a new wave of renegade filmmakers creating raw, gritty, funny, and bombastic art in one of the most culturally rich and progressive NYC neighborhoods.
The Bowery
Located in one of the oldest thoroughfares in NYC, the Bowery is known by its singular namesake where world-renowned artists have lived, created and thrived. Home to Martin Scorsese, William Burroughs, and the American Punk Scene, the Bowery is one of the great highways of humanity, of seething life, varied interests, fun, diverse culture, art, and rock-and-roll.
Awards
Bowery Film Festival in NYC hosts screening events in top-notch venues on the Bowery, and provides an opportunity to network with industry professionals at our networking events and opening and closing night parties. We believe that art is subjective, so our our winners are decided by the audience. The winners of each screening receive over $5000 in prizes from our fantastic sponsors.
