Event
The NY Dog Film Festival
The NY Dog Film Festival™ is a philanthropic celebration of the love between dogs and their people, offering dog lovers a shared audience experience of canine-themed films from around the world that inspire, educate and entertain about the human-canine bond. With a New York City premiere every fall, the Festival then travels around the country, supporting local animal welfare groups which bring people and pets together, along with our national partner and beneficiary, Dogs Playing for Life.
The festival consists of two programs. There is a separate admission for each program, and you can attend one or both programs.
[These films are free of nudity, sexual reference, physical or verbal abuse or vulgar language between people. No animals are harmed in these films: the only tears you might shed would be tears of joy for happy endings. The films can be watched by all members of the family, but are intended for adult audiences - with sophisticated ideas and subtle themes. The programs are best for more mature children who may be accustomed to foreign-type films. ]
