Calling All Visionary Filmmakers

Rewrite the narrative. Submit your film and join us in creating something extraordinary.

This spring, NEW Moon Fest invites you to Nantucket for a celebration of stories that empower, challenge, and connect. Framed by the raw beauty of the island, the festival is an event for creators and audiences to explore the power of film—how it sparks conversations, ignites change, and connects us to something deeper.

We’re looking for films that:

  • Break Boundaries: Stories that challenge norms and defy expectations.
  • Stay True: Narratives that resonate with honesty, strength, and originality.
  • Foster Connection: Films that spark conversations and forge meaningful connections.

At the heart of NEW Moon Fest is the belief that creativity is elemental—driven by urgency, resilience, and the wild spark that pushes us to create. This festival isn’t just a celebration of women behind and in front of the camera; it’s an exploration of what drives us to tell our stories, to reclaim our voices, and to see the world in a new light.
