The 9th Annual New York Baltic Film Festival (NYBFF) presented by Scandinavia House: The Nordic Center in America returns this November continuing its tradition of bringing the best new films from the Baltic region to New York audiences. The leading Baltic film festival in the U.S. will take place November 5-8, 2026, with in-person screenings, filmmaker Q&As and receptions taking place at Scandinavia House in New York.
Early-Bird Tickets are now on sale with a $20 discount on passes and packages through October 5. In-Person Passes can be purchased for $105/$75 ASF Members (regular $125/$95 ASF Members); VIP Passes are available for $405 (regular $425).
The full festival lineup will be announced in late September; please check back here for details.
ASF Program Manager & NYBFF Curator Kyle Reinhart states, “This year’s iteration of the festival features Baltic stories ranging from the great to the microscopic and focuses on attaining your dreams or enacting change even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. Whether exploring personal subjects, such as family life and coming of age, or political history, from the Soviet occupation to the present, the filmmakers in this year’s lineup put a deeply human perspective on the struggle to achieve one’s goals, and the beauty that often arises from perseverance.”
