In The Blink of An Eye

As iFF's Spring 2019 program, "In The Blink of An Eye," presents short films from around the world that capture moving snapshots in time... from life-changing decisions we make at the spur of the moment to playful bursts of humor and joy.

As iFF is accepting films that can be as short in length as one minute (or less) -- but not to exceed 16 minutes (including opening and closing credits) in narrative, animated, and documentary genres.

The Spring 2019 festival will take place on Saturday, March 30th (beginning at 7:30 pm) at the Irvington Town Hall Theater (85 Main Street in Irvington, New York) -- followed by an after-party for all filmmakers and audience members.
