“This year, is really exciting… we've received submissions from more countries than ever before, an even larger number of great films from women filmmakers, and a great number of LGBT films that allowed us to make a specific program for it.” said Sibyl Santiago, Executive Director and Head of Programming.  “….and we continue to be truly blessed with a super strong support from the NY Filmmaking community, which we are proud to continue to showcase at SOHO.”

For the first time, #SOHO7 will include the New York Filmmaker Series to screen films for the distinct purpose of supporting the NY Filmmaking community.
