                            This year’s festival will kick off Monday, March 5th with a red-carpet gala followed by the screening of selected feature, The Girl Who Invented Kissing. Audiences are then invited to a Q&A with the stars and filmmakers.

This will be followed by actor and director Steve Stanulis presenting the world premiere of his documentary project, Wasted Talent, following embattled Bronx Tale star Lillo Brancatoalso on March 5th.

 

The NYCIFF will close with a VIP reception and special screening of Keely Shaye Smith and Pierce Brosnan’s Poisoning Paradise, followed by a Q&A with the creators and awards reception honoring actress Natali Yura, with the Rising Star Award, and philanthropist, Jean Shafiroff, with the Philanthropic Award for Art, Culture & Film.

Tickets sales from NYCIFF will benefit the New York International Film Festival’s Foundation for the Arts, established to provide scholarships and opportunities to aspiring filmmakers, directors and performers around the world.
