Inclusivity.

Our goal is to create the most inclusive atmosphere. We don’t believe in the “gatekeepy” nature of festivals. By keeping our submission rates and tickets accessible, we hope to bring film to ALL audiences while being an effective platform for filmmakers of all backgrounds.

Diversity.

Our festival aims to highlight the uniqueness of independent film by featuring projects created by a diverse group of filmmakers (30+ films from all over the globe). As an extension of CK Productions, CK Film Festival hopes to continue to carry the tradition of having a diverse panel of judges, diverse audiences and diverse projects.

Keep it Local.

The CK Film Festival is founded by two small business-owners who truly understand the importance of enriching your own backyard with art! Our festival will bring independent film to local communities in Queens, NY with personal & intimate screenings.

Strengthen the Community.

A large focus for us is to bring global filmmakers, local creatives & indie film-lovers together for an intimate networking opportunity like never before. Unlike many other festivals, we hope our events and screenings prove to be a comfortable networking environment for filmmakers and attendees alike.
