"The festival, founded in 2011, is known for championing under-the-radar filmmakers who may not have Marvel budgets but do have something to say."
"This year's lineup kicks off on opening night with the New York premiere of a debut feature from NB Mager starring Alyssa Marvin alongside Patrick Wilson and Margaret Cho."
"A 25th-anniversary screening of Ghost World will bring cast members back for a reunion and Q&A, while the closing night film, Public Access, looks at New York's public-access TV boom."
"If you don't want to commit to a dark theater the whole time, LESFF is also bringing back its free 'Movies in the Park' series this summer."
The Lower East Side Film Festival (LESFF) is set for April 30 to May 4, featuring indie premieres, shorts, and cult classics at Village East Cinema. Founded in 2011, the festival supports under-the-radar filmmakers and has evolved into a vibrant downtown event with parties and unique programming. Highlights include the New York premiere of a debut feature, a 25th-anniversary screening of Ghost World, and the closing film Public Access. The festival also offers themed shorts blocks and a free summer series, Movies in the Park, transforming Tompkins Square Park into an open-air cinema.
