NewFest, New York’s LGBT Film and Media Arts Organization, is dedicated to bringing together filmmakers and audiences to build a community that passionately supports LGBT cinema and storytelling. It gives voice and visibility to all facets of the LGBTQ experience by presenting year-round screenings and events that include New York’s annual LGBT Film Festival every October, which began in 1988. Now entering its 30th Anniversary, this celebration of the year’s best LGBTQ film and media has grown to become a vital part of New York City’s cultural landscape, and one of the world’s premier gatherings of LGBTQ filmmakers and artists. NewFest staff Robert Kushner, Nick McCarthy, Radhika Rajkumar and filmmaker Caroline Berler joined BUILD to discuss the festival.
