Join our The Monkey King Celebration

We know that summertime sometimes means searching for something to do—and we've got just the thing for you and your family this weekend. Join us as we celebrate the latest adaptation of the beloved story of The Monkey King all weekend long.

On Friday, along with the premiere of The Monkey King on Netflix, we released our exclusive Q&A with director Anthony Staachi and producer (and former NYICFF juror) Peilin Chou. Watch the film and the Q&A, then follow along all weekend as we share clips, behind-the-scenes stories, and more—just like at the Festival! And since we don't have a physical ballot box this time around, submit your reviews on our social media, by email to share@nyicff.org, or via virtual ballot (below) and we will share our favorites. Who knows? We might even have some t-shirts to give away...

This just in: Producer Peilin Chou wants to hear from you! Submit all of your The Monkey King questions by Thursday, August 24 and we'll share her answers!
