Dedicated to showcasing the work of emerging talent, Borodino Film Festival was founded by a group of creators who were tired of the typical festival experience. At Borodino, we do things differently. Each project is judged by a panel of industry professionals actively looking for talent, not just an open bar and a free trip to a sunny locale.
In our first year, this is your chance to make connections and build relationships without the obscurity that creators sometimes feel at larger festivals. Our goal is to facilitate meaningful opportunities for our guests through the exclusive nature of our programming.
The event will feature live screenings of official selections in the heart of New York City. Screenwriters will be invited to attend a series of workshops hosted by industry professionals. All winners and finalists will have a photo and bio featured on our website.
