The New York Long Island Film Festival

The New York Long Island Film Festival opens its first year at the SEAFORD Cinemas 3951 Merrick Rd. Seaford, NY 11783, NY on November 7, 2019 and continuing through November 9th. The festival will run Thursday, November 7th from 7PM - 9:30 PM. Friday, November 8th from 2PM - 4:30 PM and 7PM - 9:30 PM and again on Saturday, November 9th from 2PM - 4:30 PM and 7PM 9:30 PM. Tickets are available for $8.00 per block or $25.00 for the entire run of the festival.
Filmmaker Gerry Ferretti created NYLIFF to give equal opportunity to other filmmakers, actors, directors, writers and artists who put their heart and soul into filmmaking, especially those who may not have all the resources necessary to perfectly polish their work! Artists in the past were discovered for their unique talents and abilities even if all the technical aspects were not in place. Recognizing a great story, actor, script or any other artist while not yet perfected should be the job of those doing the evaluating whether you have a 10 million dollar indie or an ultra low-budget iphone short. NYLIFF is excited to bring opportunity and networking to filmmakers from all over the world and to bring business to the local community, now and in the future.

Although a first year Film Festival , the NYLIFF team brings years of experience as writers, actors, musicians and of course filmmakers, dedicated to bringing the greatest talents to our big screens as well as discovering those hidden geniuses and gems. Its this standard of excellence and commitment we hope will establish us as the most innovative film festival in the New York area for many years to come.
NYLIFF chose Seaford, Long Island in New York as it is perfectly located for convenience to Manhattan but ease of travel by car or train.
