Spring Film Festival’s to Keep on your Radar

Each year, thousands of fans walk down the red carpet at film festivals across New York State. Special events include a series of screenings, award shows and panel discussions with authors, actors and directors. In NYC, over 20 major film festivals celebrate the big screen, including the Tribeca Film Festival in April. However, there are a lot more festivals to attend this spring that maybe you haven’t heard of. Here is our list of recommendations.

Queens World Film Festival

March 15th – 25th

Set to return to the Museum of the Moving Image and Kaufman Astoria Studios, the Queens World Film Festival is a dynamic series of bold and topical features that include narratives, documentaries, LGBTQ and animated work. The festival is programmed in thematic blocks with evocative titles, and each program is followed by a post-screening dialogue to engage audiences from the demographically diverse communities that comprise the borough of Queens. Each year the festival has a very robust submission session, with films coming from all over the globe, 63 nations to date.

New York Peace Film Festival

March 24th – 25th

Join the movement and support world peace! The mission of this film festival is to present films from around the world that advance global peace, with an emphasis on the advantages of peaceful solutions to international conflicts, and the horrors and costs of war. Other deep interests include better management of the resources of the earth and the sharing of those natural resources, as well as the proliferation and consequences of nuclear arms and energy. Head to the Unitarian Church of All Souls to experience these 2018 selections.

New Directors New Films

March 28th – April 8th

The future of cinema is here! Celebrating its 47th edition, the New Directors/New Films festival introduces New York audiences to the work of emerging filmmakers from around the world. Talents such as Spike Lee and Christopher Nolan began their careers at this festival. Witness daring artists push the envelope and present the next big thing.

MIX NYC

March 29th – April 1st

For those of you who like to think outside the box, then MIX NYC is for you. Otherwise known as the 30th New York Queer Experimental Film Festival, this film festival is the ultimate avant-garde cinema experience. MIX NYC is a community of artists and organizers joined together to explore, share, and create queer experimental media.

Tribeca Film Festival

April 18th – April 29th

Founded by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff in 2001, following the attacks on the World Trade Center, Tribeca has evolved from an annual event to spur the economic and cultural revitalization of lower Manhattan to a gathering place for filmmakers, artists, innovators, and the global creative community. As one of the most prominent festivals in NYC, Tribeca also introduces new technology and ideas through panels, premieres, exhibitions, and live performances.

Art of the Real

April 26th – May 6th

With a focus on nonfiction and hybrid filmmaking, this film festival at the Lincoln Center showcases both well-known historical examples and lesser-known work of many contemporary filmmakers, both domestic and international. This year, the festival is emphasizing informational and journalistic documentary, where content takes precedence over form.  

This summer we seem to be more or less all stuck at home, and I have to say even though it’s hard not to be able to go anywhere for now, it might be a sign that it’s time to focus on what is around us. 💫 I am lucky to be from the South of France and I often take it for granted. Sometimes it’s so close that we tend to think that we will explore it later (I’ve never been to a pink salt marsh, even though there are so many next to where I used to live)! 😻 But now’s the time to go and explore the beauties of our own land. What is one thing you’ve always wanted to explore around where you live? 🏠 . . . . . . . . #explorefrance #explorefrance🇫🇷 #exploretheworld #exploreyourworld #exploreyourcity #exploreyourstate #exploreyourself #exploreyourpotential #exploreyourplace #exploreyourhood #exploreyourhome #visitfrance #visitfrance🇫🇷 #visiteurope #travelinspiration #traveldiary #travelfrance #francetravel #photooftheday #phototraveling #travelphotography #travelphotooftheday #travelphotoblog #travelphotography📷 #photographersofinstagram #photographylover #inspirationtravel #inspirationseed #inspirationphotographer (at La Franqui, Languedoc-Roussillon, France) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAxWW_wgm3j/?igshid=cfwkxytt1bp8

Best Neighborhoods in NYC for Dogs 

Backyards are just about non-existent in NYC and the Big Apple seems like a tough environment to raise our beloved pups. However, if there is one thing all New Yorkers can agree on, it’s our love for dogs. According to pet service, Rover, around 425,000 dogs live in NYC, which is more than the human population of Oakland, California! Taking this into consideration, we understand your dog will stay by your side no matter the circumstances. Although, every neighborhood in NYC has more than its share of pet owners of all kinds, some communities just make having a dog easier, more comfortable, and more fun. So, here’s what we recommend as the best neighborhoods for your high-spirited pets to call home. Just maybe you can get a jump start on training for the Westminster Dog Show next month.

Battery Park City

This small, contained community in Lower Manhattan has lots of communal lawns and walkways, which make even quick walks pleasant for both dog and owner. Even better, Battery Park City is located right next to Hudson River Park and Rockefeller Park, which offer wide promenades and terrific views of the Hudson River and the New Jersey skyline.

DUMBO

Park Slope and Bay Ridge are two Brooklyn neighborhoods with plenty of park space, which make both areas great places to bring your dog. However, last year StreetEasy reported that 39% of all DUMBO listings were dog-friendly. In addition, the neighborhood offers plenty of pet shops and dog runs. Cheeky Dog Doggie Daycare is a trendy spot that will keep you and your dog smiling. Just under the Brooklyn Bridge is a dog run at Main Street, and another one further south at Pier 6.

Upper East Side

Yes, the opportunity to be a few blocks away from central Park is the perfect situation for your dog. But on the upper eastern end of the Upper East Side, you'll also find the often-overlooked Carl Schurz Park, with its popular dog run and pretty promenade overlooking the East River. You can’t forget all of the commercial strips on Lexington, Third, Second and First Avenues, which provide a plethora of pet stores and services.

Chelsea/Flatiron

Although they are not allowed on the celebrated High Line, dogs are happily welcomed on the miles of trails and parks that run alongside the Hudson River. In 2015, the Madison Square Park Dog Run was voted NYC’s Best Dog Park.

Kew Gardens

The tight-knit Queens community of Kew Gardens is known for its community spirit and privacy. This neighborhood offers dogs and their people an excellent expanse of green space with the Frederick Law Olmsted-designed Forest Park--with its pretty, private road for strolling, running or bike riding--all within easy walking distance of just about everywhere in the neighborhood.

Fieldston

In addition to its quiet, winding, shade-covered streets and gorgeous homes, Fieldston is a privately-owned neighborhood that happens to be right next door to NYC’s fourth largest park, the 1,000-acre Van Cortlandt Park, making dog walks for all purposes a pleasure.

• SUNSET ON SEA • How could you start the weekend better? #moodybalticsea Eins steht für mich ganz außer Frage. Nirgends geht die Sonne schöner unter als am Meer. Oder was meint ihr? Ich freue mich bereits auf die warmen Sommertage, an denen man am Tag ins kühle Nass springt und am Abend im Sand sitzend den Sonnenuntergang bewundert. #küstenkinder⚓️ _____________________🌅_____________________ @lumix_de 📸 Panasonic Lumix FZ-DC1000ii Leica lens _____________________🌅_____________________ #lubmin #greifswalderbodden #balticseapictures #ig_vorpommern #sonnenuntergangammeer #sunsetonsea #moody_mv #aufnachmv #vorpommern #wolkenliebe #sonnenuntergangshimmel #mvtutgut #mvliebe #küstenmädchen #ostseeküste #moodyvisions #moodysunset #vorpommerngreifswald #mecklenburgvorpommern #mecklenburg_vorpommern #gooutandexplore #exploreyourhood #ig_deutschland #ehrenrakete #küstenliebe #seebrücke #ostseeliebe⚓️ #ostseestrand (hier: Lubmin Strand) https://www.instagram.com/p/COS8VbmsLyX/?igshid=1mnpt5426sjzj
