SUBMISSIONS NOW OPEN! 🎞️

MIX NYC is accepting film submissions for MIX FEST 2026. As always, we’re looking for original, inventive experimental films that reflect the diverse perspectives of the LGBTQIA2S+ community. Since 1987, our festival has offered a platform for filmmakers, artists, and creators to showcase their work, connect with audiences, and participate in meaningful dialogue. 

We only consider submissions that:

• Are created by queer filmmakers and/or involve queer concepts, subjects, or themes.
• Challenge conventional filmmaking practices.

Granted the above criteria is met, we accept submissions across all modes and lengths, and from filmmakers at any stage of their careers.

Trans and BIPOC Filmmakers are encouraged to apply.
