Coney Island Film Festival

Our festival by the sea has gained a reputation for fostering a relaxed atmosphere where filmmakers and industry veterans alike gather to enjoy a jam-packed weekend featuring great films, an opening night party, and amusement park rides. MovieMaker Magazine named us one of the “25 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee” and the “25 Coolest Film Festivals.” And, we’re ranked among the Top 100 Best-Reviewed Festivals on FilmFreeway!
