Founded in 1962 by the visionary multidisciplinary artist John Cage, New York Mycological Society has had a long relationship with the arts. Over the past decade there has been an efflorescence of visual work, including film and video, on the mycological world.  We are excited to announce the first NYMS Myco Film Festival scheduled for Sunday, October 1, 2023 at SVA Theatre in New York City and streaming online in a virtual film fest later in October 2023.

Join us for a fabulous evening of fiction, documentary, animation, and experimental films showcasing the fascinating world of fungi and exploring mycology in bold new ways, far beyond popular culture’s fixation on magic mushrooms!

IN-PERSON FESTIVAL DATE: One day screening on Sunday, October 1, 2023 (tickets on sale in September)

VIRTUAL FILM FEST: dates TBA, end of October 2023

If you are interested in participating or donating your mycological foods or beverages or other products as an in-kind sponsor to this fantastic event, please reach out to us at  filmfest@newyorkmyc.org !
