Downtown Film Fest

The Directors Chair, held in downtown Staten Island only a short ferry ride from Manhattan, is in its 6th year. We have screened hundreds of films, including shorts, features and documentaries. Every year we invite panelist to discuss different film topics. This year our panel will discuss set design and film distribution. Opening night: Walk the red carpet into our festival gallery. If you have a film screening, you will receive a badge along with a festival package. Schedules will be given out to fans and movie goers. Food, music and meeting other filmmakers and fans are a big part of the night. Films will be screened throughout the weekend, along with interviews with the filmmakers. Sunday we will screen films and awards will be given that night.
