Our Mission

The NYU Sports Film Festival celebrates the intersection of athletics and cinema, showcasing powerful stories that capture the human spirit through sports. Co-produced by the NYU Production Lab and NYU Athletics, we bring together filmmakers, athletes, and storytellers to honor the tradition of great sports filmmaking.

"From Raging Bull to He Got Game to The Rider, NYU filmmakers have brought powerful sports stories to the screen. The NYU Sports Film Festival celebrates that great tradition."
