FILM DIARY NYC programs experimental, autobiographical films that capture the personal history and daily experiences of the filmmaker. Through an annual festival and ongoing special events, we provide a platform for the most heartfelt but most overlooked cinema: diary films, home movies, and personal documentary.
Organized by Saint Piñero and Sage Ó Tuama.
