Small moments. Big stories.

The Sea Cliff Film Festival is a community-centered celebration of independent film, born from the Sea Cliff Arts Council and a community of local filmmakers.

About Us

Set within one square mile of coastline on Long Island's North Shore, the festival transforms Sea Cliff into a shared cinematic experience — where audiences meet filmmakers, conversations spill into the streets, and stories stay with you long after the credits roll.

The inaugural festival runs June 13–14, 2026, with a vision to grow into a lasting annual cultural tradition.
