The Queens World Film Festival kicks off the 2025 season with our annual Kick-Off-Potluck-Party, a night of food, film, and community! Join us on Saturday, September 27 at 7:00 PM at The Local NYC in Long Island City as we welcome 50+ filmmakers and their teams into the Queens World community. Each filmmaker will bring a dish inspired by their film, and guests are encouraged to bring a dish inspired by their favorite film!
Enjoy a buffet as diverse as our lineup, connect with filmmakers, to get a taste for what is to come at the upcoming Queens World Film Festival (Nov. 5-16) and enter a raffle for prizes like a $100 B&H gift card, a guided tour at the Museum of Natural History, and a $25 Astoria Bookshop gift card and more! The evening will feature a live broadcast hosted by board members Montaigne Massac and Richard Calvache, plus shoutouts from sponsors and partners who keep Queens arts thriving. (Cash bar available; utensils, plates, and napkins provided!)
