Founded in 2009, Filmshop is a nonprofit collective of independent filmmakers committed to developing new work through peer support and collaboration. During the 2025 season, the Filmshop House will host weekly public screenings showcasing members’ short films, narrative films, documentaries, and works-in-progress. Filmmaker Q&As will offer visitors behind-the-scenes insights into the creative process, and special events will include filmmaking workshops for all ages, a live music showcase, and themed screening series.
Visitors can also explore their lending library, spend time in their meditation and creativity room, and check out an exhibit highlighting movie posters designed for their annual Filmshop Presents themed short film showcase. All weekend events are open to the public, providing an intimate window into their dynamic filmmaking community, which spans chapters in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Los Angeles, and virtually in the South and Europe.
