Join us for two inspiring days celebrating the filmmakers, films, and creative community advancing the Moving Picture Institute's mission to tell compelling stories about human freedom. 

Meet the Filmmakers Shaping the Future of Storytelling

Experience two memorable days with the Moving Picture Institute in New York, as we bring together filmmakers, industry leaders, supporters, and friends of MPI.
