The NY Dog Film Festival® exists to celebrate the bond between dogs and people around the world, as seen through the work of brilliant filmmakers. At the same time, we want to raise awareness of the life-saving work being done at small rescues and large shelters by inviting their followers to the Festival and giving 10% of every ticket directly to those local shelters.
The NY Dog Film Festival® is an annual philanthropic celebration of the love between dogs and their people. The Festival is a two-hour program of short films with a canine theme – a medley of animated, documentary and narrative films from around the world. The Festival premieres every year at a theater in New York City and then travels to theaters in cities across the United States and Canada, with a portion of every ticket benefiting a local rescue devoted to canine welfare.
