Astoria Film Festival in Astoria NY is a nonprofit organization that features short films, web series, feature films, and podcasts from around the world. We also run neighborhood youth film education, internships, and a Film Fellows programs around NYC, and we work to strengthen the existing independent filmmaker community here as well. In our AFFKids Workshops, we guide youth as they create short films as a class. Our YouTube programming includes our films, our events, interviews with our filmmakers, interviews with local businesses, nonprofits, and politicians, and interviews with media professionals who discuss their career paths with our youth filmmakers and film fellows.
