NYCIFF Institute
Why NYCIFF Institute was created:
NYCIFF Founder and CEO Roberto Rizzo’s family didn’t have the resources necessary to pay for his higher education.
Rizzo remembers the very frustrating times, the feelings of hopeless, because of the money situation.
Rizzo doesn’t want to see other young people go through the same experience that he had. Therefore he created in association with New York City International Film Festival the NYCIFF Institute, a not-for-profit organization.
With your support, the NYCIFF Institute will provide scholarships for :

  •    Emerging Filmmakers
  •    Emerging Fashion Designers
  •    Emerging Musicians
  •    Emerging Performers
