The
New York WILD
Film Festival is the first annual documentary film festival in New York to showcase a spectrum of wild topics, from exploration and adventure to wildlife and the environment, bringing all things WILD to one of the most urban environments in the world.
The festival celebrates the filmmakers who, through the power of their images and storytelling, promote awareness, educate and inspire interest in exploring and protecting the natural world around us. |

why now?
|
The imminent
extinction of big cats,
the recent tragic Gulf
oil spill, rising sea
levels and many more
critical issues are
all wake up calls to
remind us of how the
earth, its resources
and inhabitants are
in jeopardy. More than
ever people are drawn
to all things connected
to the planet and aware
of the urgency to save
it.
The New
York WILD
Film Festival was founded
to explore questions
about protecting the
planet and provide a
framework for action.
WILD
presents an extraordinary
opportunity to exchange
ideas, share passions
and affect powerful
change.
