Dear SRFF
Friend, Supporter, Filmmaker, and Partner,
In less than three
weeks, SRFF 2025, the festival's 12th annual edition, opens at the National
Arts Club in Gramercy Square with a red carpet at 5:30 PM and a
program starting at 6:00 PM.
Our Guest of Honor is Social
Media Star and influencer Dorothy Wiggins @dorothylovesnewyork who, at 99, inspires many with her mindful lifestyle. The SRFF
2025 Special Honor Awardee is actor, writer,
and producer Karren Karagulian, who
plays Toros in Sean Baker's award-winning film, Anora.
The Festival's Uptown
section, Rejoice Resist: BIPOC Films, takes place on March 12
and 13 in West Harlem, sponsored by West Harlem Development Corporation. The program includes a panel discussion
with BIPOC Filmmakers on March 13 at the Lee C. Bollinger Forum of Columbia
University and MRHS.
The Official Selection lineup SRFF 2025 is on the festival website, with trailers of the films, descriptions, screening times, tickets, and venues. The program includes Voices of Canada, Dutch Culture USA Future 400, films by Industry Partner IndiePix Unlimited, and the Armenian Spotlight feature film Labyrinth, all screening at our Downtown venue, Cinema Village. See the festival trailer here.
