KATRA FILM SERIES SISTER FESTIVALS

Katra Film Series is home to several different domestic and international film festivals. Their collective mission is to highlight talented independent filmmakers and cinematic works by historically underrepresented communities. Make sure to check out each festival below!

Bowery Film Festival

The Bowery Film Festival in NYC is determined to bring about a cinematic revolution unseen since the 70’s, striving to discover a new wave of renegade filmmakers creating raw, gritty, funny, and bombastic art in one of the most culturally rich and progressive neighborhoods in New York City. Our mission is simple: to showcase works from filmmakers of all walks of life regardless of gender, race, age, creed, sexual orientation, or political affiliation and provide them with a platform to jumpstart their careers.

Katra Latinx Festival

In its milestone 3rd year, the Katra Latinx Festival continues its dedication to empowering and highlighting Latino short filmmakers from around the world. To be eligible for consideration, two key members of the production crew must be of Latino descent. Ideally the writer, director or producer. We accept short films, web series, TV pilots, documentaries, music videos, experimental films, animation and more.

New Faces New Voices

Now in Year 5, New Faces New Voices is determined more than ever to continue discovering and highlighting new works often ignored by the mainstream and Hollywood. In just two short years our alums are making waves in the industry with theatrical and streaming distribution on Netflix, Sony Pictures Worldwide and more. Some of our most recent Alums were featured on CNN, ABC News and other local media outlets. NFNV showcases inclusive and diverse voices from around the world and is known for highlighting underrepresented communities – filmmakers of color, female filmmakers, members of the LGBTQ+ and disabled communities, including works by military veterans.
