Befitting the legacy of this internationally renowned neighborhood, the Hi experience integrates the best that Harlem has to offer - great restaurants, unique boutiques, world-class music venues, prestigious universities and cultural institutions, and a long history of excellence in the Arts. This year we are bringing the UPTOWN flavor and passion for the arts and cinema DOWNTOWN.
Committed to exhibiting, and encouraging the production of thought-provoking, entertaining films, the Festival offers features, documentaries, shorts, youth films, animated works, panel discussions and the Renaissance Awards.
In addition to showcasing some of the best films from around the world, the Festival also features the Harlem Spotlight, which highlights films produced or directed by Harlem residents, films shot in Harlem, or films about Harlem and its history. Also highlighted are films produced in New York or by New York-based filmmakers and each year one country or region of the world is spotlighted.
