As many of you may not be aware, MCNY is and has been in the process of moving into our new campus at 60 West Street, New York, NY and our Bronx campus at 463 East 149th Street, Bronx, NY, and has been expending significant time ensuring that the facilities were/are ready for students who are currently taking classes as we complete our move. This year, at the same time, we have had the additional good fortune to be inundated by a spectacular 1718 films submitted for consideration to MCNY’s renowned student run Annual Short Film Festival. As such, in the interest of ensuring that each film submitted and the many talented film-makers participating in the 7th Annual Short Film Festival receive the appropriate consideration and attention they and their films deserve, our Film Festival has been rescheduled for Wednesday, September 14th and Thursday, September 15th, 2016.
To date, the vast majority of film submissions that have been disqualified have been because the submissions exceeded our qualifying 15 minute limit. Therefore, if you have not received an email to date from us about your film submission, you should consider your film still in contention for selection and competition. Announcements about semi finalists will be sent out by August 12, and announcements for Finalists will be made by August 26, 2016.
We apologize for any inconvenience, but want to be sure that we maintain integrity in our selection process and afford your film full consideration for our competition. We wish each film maker good luck in the competition.
Thank you.
MCNY Annual Short Film Festival
