It\u2019s date night in Lower Manhattan and you’re looking for something to do.

It\u2019s time to get creative. It\u2019s time to get “cultured.” From June 15 – 22,<\/span>\u00a0try something a little different, a little more memorable, (and not to mention, affordable).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"soho<\/a>The SoHo International Film Festival<\/a> will be taking place at various times throughout the day in the East Village. The festival will be located at Village East Cinema, at 189 2nd Avenue. This film fest has consistently grown each year since its inception, and <\/span>was named one of MovieMakers Magazine’s “Top 50 Film Festivals Worth the Entry Fee.\u201d The entry fee sits around $16 (which is only around $6 more than your average price at a standard movie theatre). The festival will always feature innovative, yet refreshing movies made by amateur and professional filmmakers. Oftentimes, these movies bring into light the areas that Hollywood blockbusters refuse to explore, allowing for a realness that goes unseen at normal movie theatres. The <\/span>SoHo International Film Festival<\/span> hopes to boost the sense of pride, community, culture, life, and city from wherever the film is from. That said, this year’s festival is expected to showcase a range of films from all over the world. Some countries who’ve had films featured previously are Canada, Australia, Kenya, Japan, and many more.<\/span><\/p>\n

For budding filmmakers, another enticing feature of this festival is the opportunity to network and gain access to incredible minds. Whether you go to the festival on a date night or you’re going strictly to enjoy the beautiful cinematic pieces, there will be surely be a number of creatives in attendance. The SoHo Film Festival plans on holding screenings, panels, and social events for amateurs, professionals, and fans to interact! <\/span><\/p>\n
