Queens World Film Festival March 5-10

The Queens World Film Festival started in Jackson Heights three years ago, and continues to blossom.

This year it will be held March 5-10 with films showing in multiple locations, including the Museum of the Moving Image, the Jackson Triplex in Elmhurst, the Secret theater in Long Island City, and the Renaissance Charter School and P.S. 69 (both in Jackson Heights).  The opening night will be at the Museum of the Moving Image with an evening of 7 shorts from Australia, Belgium, Germany, Italy and the USA.  The show starts at 8pm and will be followed by an opening night party where you will be able to meet filmmakers showing work at the festival.

Tickets for almost all events, which are primarily short features are still available, the exception is the showing of MikeyBoy, a feature length film shot in Queens and taking place in Ozone Park, about an young Albanian who has to return home for his arranged marriage.

Happy New Year!

Wishing anyone who checks in here now and the a happy and prosperous 2013.   I know I have been rather quiet of late, but I haven't forgotten my beloved Woodside. I've just had my hands full.  Hoping to have a bit more time to add content soon.
