Our Story

NYCTVF is celebrating the art of television and connecting international and U.S. creators with New York audiences.

New York City TV Festival

Founded in 2017, an arts organization dedicated to celebrating the craft and culture of television. Born from a desire to put television storytelling on a theatrical stage, NYCTVF brings together up-and-coming and established creators from the U.S. and around the world to share their work with New York audiences.

Mission

NYCTVF promotes emerging and established television creators by providing a high-visibility platform in New York City. As a nonprofit for the arts, we spotlight outstanding TV shows, series, documentaries, comedy, drama, and feature films — helping storytellers reach audiences, industry partners, and cultural conversation.

vision

We envision a future where television is celebrated as a vital, diverse, and experimental art form. NYCTVF strives to be a leading cultural hub that connects international talent with the U.S. industry, amplifies underrepresented voices, and nurtures the next generation of storytellers through exposure, community, and opportunity.
