An award for filmmakers by filmmakers. Since its inception, the New York Cinema Awards have been about recognizing the rising voices in American and International Cinema. The New York Cinema Awards are a distinction for cinema creators. NYCA celebrates filmmakers by awarding a select group of films that are found to be the very best among submissions. Judged by filmmakers, writers, and film professionals. The City That Never Sleeps is the perfect home for film because, like film, it is creative, hectic, crazy, beautiful, and moving in a way that cannot be described.
