The New York-Istanbul Short Film Festival is dedicated to showcasing emerging talent from around the globe.
At NISFF, we embrace independent projects across all genres, with a special focus on films that have been traditionally underrepresented in the global cinematic landscape.
Committed to maintaining the utmost quality for our film aficionados, an academic jury meticulously evaluates every submission each season.
**Note:** The New York-Istanbul Short Film Festival is proud to be IMDb accredited!
