About the festival series:

At FunFest! we focus on showing quality films with a high entertainment value!

Our monthly short-film series is a fresh way for anybody to have a great night out, see a wide range of creative films, talk with the film makers, and network with like-minded folks after the screening until the venue closes (Yes, we just used the word 'folks' in a sentence!).

There are refreshments, a social intermission, and the vote for best film at the end of the evening, with each winning film competing at the end of the year for the grand prize!

...And it's all FREE !!!

>>> CURRENT NEWS

On November 6, we featured the documentary feature of Damian Kalody, The Orange Chronicles - a work wherein Kalody adventures back to the country of his ancestry, the Ukraine, covering the extraordinary and unexpected result of a fraudulent presidential vote commonly known as the Orange Revolution. This film has been screened in numerous festivals as well as reviewed by notorious publications and critics. We also viewed a short film by Charles Krezell describing a raw love story written and performed by indigineous Maya in Guatamala; a modern day Romeo and Juliet, beautifully shot and with aboriginal music. And lastly, there was Flowers and Cigarettes, a short film by Will Allen where two characters each find what they need in each other, if only for a moment, in a chance encounter, filmed in Manhattan's Union Square Park.

Come on down to our next Funfest! event on December 4th!
