Political Film Festival


Join us this July as we introduce the Political Film Festival - a four-day exploration of the dynamic interplay between cinema and American politics.

Curated and hosted by former Long Island Congressman Steve Israel, the Political Film Festival will delve into the relationship between Hollywood and political arena to help us contextualize the history of media’s influence on politics.

Over the course of four days, the festival will feature a multimedia lecture by Rep. Steve Israel, as well as screenings of the groundbreaking political films Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, The Best Man, & The Candidate - followed by discussions with Rep. Steve Israel, Rep. Peter King, political strategist Dr. Basil Smikle, and film executive Michael Nathanson.
