The Hudson Valley-based Film Festival features a curated selection of films screened at the Warwick Drive-In Movie Theater, located only 55 miles from NYC. In addition to multiple Jury-selected Award winners (cash, custom trophies, & unique goody bags), the audience always has the opportunity to vote for Best Film of 2025. Every evening of the Fest includes pre-party gatherings with live music, photo ops, performances, vendors, and unique art installations.

 

"The Hudson Valley Film Fest is a fantastic festival. They both value the artists in their community, in the community of NYC, as well as exceptional work from around the world. Seeing your film at a drive-in is also a unique and fun experience. They bring everyone together for an outdoor event before the screenings where you can meet other filmmakers. You can tell that there's a lot of heart and passion put into this festival, and it is well-curated. Their awards are also beautiful handmade sculptures. As someone from the Hudson Valley as well, I have to say that this festival also captures something of the culture of the region."

-Francesco Cordaro, HVFF Best of Fest Winner
