About Gen Art Film

Each year Gen Art showcases many of the best emerging independent films in high-profile film festivals & other programs.

Gen Art invites rising independent North American filmmakers free-of-charge to participate in these programs which draw a high profile audience including tastemakers, film industry members, press and celebrities.

The film program includes the annual Gen Art Film Festival in New York, a Film Screening Series which takes place in all five markets that gives the Gen Art audience a chance to see cool new smaller films before they are theatrically release, the Cinema Circle program where audience members can interact and meet filmmakers and talent in an intimate setting, and custom film programs.

Custom film programs have included the Fantastic Mr. Fox and Amazon competitions, as well as past programs including the Delta Fly-In Movies competition, Nokia's Art in Motion, and the Downy film competition where the winning short film was played during the People's Choice Awards.
