The Festival's mission focuses on assisting filmmakers to reach the broadest possible audience, enabling the international film community and general public to experience the power of cinema and promoting New York City as a major filmmaking center.Since its founding, the Festival has attracted over two million attendees from the US and abroad and has generated more than $425million in economic activity for New York City.
