Dear Friends,

Welcome to the 11th annual Winter Film Awards International Film Festival in New York City!

The Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME) is pleased to support this diverse celebration of film, which features work by emerging filmmakers hailing from 21 different countries. With a line-up of films where half are created by women and half are by or about people of color, the Winter Film Awards International Film Festival serves to amplify the diversity of voices in independent film.

MOME works to strengthen and support New York City’s creative economy and make it accessible to all. MOME comprises five divisions: the Film Office, which coordinates film and television production throughout the five boroughs, connects New Yorkers to jobs in the sector, and strengthens infrastructure; NYC Media, the official production entity and television and radio network of the City of New York; Creative Sector Programs, which advance industry growth and workforce development across theatre, music, advertising, publishing, and digital media; the Office of Nightlife which promotes a sustainable nighttime economy; and the Press Credentials Office which issues press cards to journalists covering news and public events in NYC.

To learn more about MOME’s programs and services, please visit NYC.gov/MOME, and follow us on Twitter and Facebook at @MadeinNY and on Instagram at @madein_ny.

Enjoy the festival!

Sincerely,

Anne del Castillo, Commissioner

The City of New York Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment
