We’re excited to be heading into our 28th year of the Long Island International Film Expo this July 10 – 13, 2025 at the historic Bellmore Movies, one of Long Island’s oldest movie theaters.

The Long Island Film-TV Foundation is the most established not-for-profit group on Long Island and is proud to put on this prestigious event.

Having been the creator of the Nassau County Film Office and serving as its Film Commissioner for 33 years, I’ve had the pleasure of watching some of the largest studio projects grace our area as well as seeing the independent film industry grow and thrive on Long Island.  Our all-volunteer Board and judges take pride in screening hundreds of films and curating a program that is unique, entertaining, and informative.

We assemble panels to provide information and networking opportunities and share insight about the filmmaking process to the general public. Ending with our star-studded closing awards ceremony, we honor the winners of this year’s LIIFE as well as those who provide inspiration to our participants.

As a filmmaker and writer myself, I’m proud of what our dedicated team has put together, and we look forward to seeing you at the movies.
