ACE Film Festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ACE Film Festival (The American Cinematic Experience Film Festival) is a film festival held annually in New York City, New York. According to its official website, unlike most American film festivals, it focuses purely on showcasing domestic-made works "in an effort to strengthen and promote pride in American independent cinema". The festival features screenings and premieres of American video art, animation and cinema, including shorts, student films, documentaries and full-length features. Additionally, a host of other activities such as live band performances, interactive media showcases, games, contests, and giveaways take place.
In early December 2006, its been announced on the Festival's official website that a portion of its proceeds will be donated to the New York Foundation for the Arts, in an effort to support its efforts in "spreading the gift of creativity."
