Blackbird Film Festival is an international film and arts festival located in Cortland, NY and features over 100 films each year from around the world.
Blackbird Film Festival is an International Film Festival open to all film & video artists. The festival is hosted annually by the State University of New York, College at Cortland the third weekend in April. The event is FREE to attend!
At the Blackbird Film Festival, we strive to curate an inclusive festival atmosphere - an environment where experienced professionals and first time filmmakers can strike up conversation and perhaps take something away from one another. Blackbird was originally founded as a festival for student filmmakers but quickly opened its doors to all types of filmmakers in the spirit of collaboration and the sharing of ideas. With this in mind, Blackbird remains a festival geared towards the learning experience and attracts a large number of media production students.
