IFFNY 2026

We are excited to announce the Official Selection for the 15th Edition of the International Filmmaker Festival of New York (IFFNY 2026).

This year, we received 439 submissions from filmmakers worldwide, selecting 61 outstanding projects representing 84 countries and celebrating the diversity, creativity, and artistic vision of international cinema.

Of these, 50 projects will compete in our Official Competition across various categories, while 11 projects have been selected for our new Spotlight Showcase, a non-competitive section celebrating unique voices and innovative storytelling. These films will be featured in IFFNY’s online program, reaching audiences around the world.

As we celebrate our 15th edition, we continue to bring filmmakers and cultures together through the power of cinema.

One World. Infinite Stories.
