In the Spotlight today is the 2nd Annual Chain NYC Film Festival (Chain NYC), celebrating personal stories and original ideas in a buzzing metropolis that's rich with stories of its own. With the goal of sparking exciting dialogue between filmmakers and their audiences, Chain NYC comes alive at New York City's Chain Theatre, an intimate, black box performing arts venue that's just one block away from MoMA PS1, an exhibition space for the famed Museum of Modern Art. With a visit to Chain NYC, lovers of arts and culture are immersed in a thrilling and collaborative environment that's a treat for the eyes and ears.
Chain NYC welcomes narrative and documentary submissions, whether in feature-length, short-form, or "super-short" format. The festival also warmly embraces webseries submissions as part of a new wave of creative enterprise in an increasingly connected world. Awards are bestowed in numerous categories, including Best Narrative Feature, Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Animated Film, and Best Local Filmmaker. Special prizes may also be awarded, at the discretion of a jury of storytelling and filmmaking experts.

Last year's winning films included Boogie Stomp!, an energizing documentary about the history of the boogie-woogie; Theresa is a Mother, the story of a fractured woman's search for redemption; and The Lady in Number 6: Music Saved My Life, which went on to win the Academy Award for Best Documentary Film, Short Subject.
