NY Independent Cinema Awards is an amazing event for indie film projects of all genres. The festival is truly independent and visionary in its approach towards the language of cinema. The programmers select film and script projects from all over the globe and forward them to jury members who vote for the best of each category. The independent voices of cinema and emerging U.S. and international talents are selected, promoted and recognized in various sections of the festival. The festival director recently announced the winners of the latest edition of the festival.
