NYICFF in Your Neighborhood

February 17-25, 2024


Now in its second year, NYICFF in Your Neighborhood (NIYN) is a citywide celebration designed to provide families with free film, literature, and art at museums, libraries, and cultural institutions in their own neighborhoods. We're teaming up with organizations across NYC—and in Newark!—to present NYICFF in Your Neighborhood, a free culture crawl to help you find your new go-to spot for art, film, books, and more.

PLUS: take in a special presentation of a NYICFF short film program! Free exhibits and activities for your family and a practice run the week before NYICFF 2024? What more could you ask for? Grab your neighbors (or friends with kids ages 3-8) and go!

Note: This is a free, pop-in event. Tickets/registration is not required, and the film program will screen multiple times in the provided timeframe. If you have specific questions, please contact the individual venue you wish to visit.
