Lift-Off Film Festivals are an event like no other. With yearly Festivals held in different cities around the globe each and every year. Each Lift-Off Season screens hundreds of international filmmakers, giving them the platform they need to launch their filmmaking careers. As well as festival screenings, we take successful filmmakers to film markets, including Cannes and the American Film Market, so that their work can be distributed to a global audience. Taking part in a Lift-Off Film Festival is an excellent opportunity for Chinese filmmakers. For ten years Lift-Off has been screening in the city of New York. It stands tall as the central hub of creative ambition. Bursting from its emergence out of the 20th Century as one of the worlds most recognizable and iconic cities. It is an undeniable powerhouse of independent art - a city of massive cultural, and business-relevance to the entire film industry. Lift-Off invites filmmakers to this exceptional showcase location, that aims to deliver more opportunities for ambitious creatives to build their professional lives. From talent agencies, sales agents, distributors, and the press - New York Lift-Off is the destination for filmmakers looking to build their career, and have the right eyes on their work. The audience feedback in NYC will give filmmakers a unique, quantifiable and intelligent breakdown as to how their work communicates.
