About the SINY Film Festival
Conceived by the Staten Island Economic Development Corporation (SIEDC), the Staten Island Film Festival (SINY Film Festival) held it's first 4-day festival in 2006. The SIEDC came up with this idea to help foster an artistic atmosphere on Staten Island as part of a strategy to draw visitors from New York's other four boroughs, New Jersey and beyond. Festival-goers could be introduced in what Staten Island has to offer.
SINY Film Festival succeeded in its first year by introducing independent and international films to a broad and diverse audience, and its endeavor is to develop and expand for many years to come. As the Festival grows, so does the community that supports it, in the form of sponsors, partners, staff, board members, volunteers and attendees.
