The autumn 2026 edition of the New York Short Film Festival (NYSFF) runs from October 30 to November 3 at Cinema Village in Greenwich Village. The festival describes itself as New York's largest for short films, with work drawn from filmmakers around the world.
Cinema Village is a long-running independent cinema in downtown Manhattan, and NYSFF is held there every year. The program centers on independent films and filmmakers who push the limits of storytelling within the short format.
The organizers pitch the festival as a meeting point for creators, industry professionals and film lovers, with an emphasis on compelling narratives, inventive techniques and distinctive voices in contemporary cinema. For audiences, shorts offer a chance to take in a range of styles and countries in a single sitting, and to spot emerging talent early.
Admission is $15. Tickets are sold through the festival's website, newyorkshort.com. The theater is at 22 East 12th Street, a short walk from Union Square, which makes it easy to pair a screening with dinner or a stroll through the neighborhood afterward.
