It is the first creative festival for television artists, and is a pioneer of the “independent television” movement. Annually it unites artists, executives, industry figures, and fans together in one forum to celebrate the medium (television) and strives to help shape its future. The NYTVF features panel discussions, premiere screenings, and other special events designed to honor television as an institution and as an art form.
