About Winter Film Awards
Winter Film Awards is an all volunteer, minority- and women-owned registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in 2011 in New York City by a group of filmmakers and enthusiasts. We recognize excellence and diversity in cinema, with a special emphasis on supporting women and under-represented filmmakers and a focus on nurturing emerging filmmakers from all genres from around the world. Our mission is to promote diversity, bridge the opportunity divide and provide a platform for under-represented artists and a variety of genres, viewpoints and approaches. We believe that only by seeing others’ stories can we understand each other and only via an open door can the underrepresented artist enter the room. The program is supported, in part, by public funds from the NYC & Company Foundation and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
