SLMBR PRTY and Girls in Film NYC partnered to present Cinema Supper, an end-of-year evening of food, drink, and ambience inspired by films from this year and beyond. Over a bespoke menu curated and prepared by Lottie Gurvis of Stay for Supper, we connected with friends old and new to bid adieu to this year and look towards the next.

SLMBR PRTY partnered with the NYU Production Lab to present an exploratory evening on the topic of the industry newcomer on all of our minds - A.I. We started the evening with an artist's panel covering a range of use cases and opinions on the tools at hand featuring artists Leilanni Todd, Joy Fennel, and Daniel Antebi.

The panel was followed by an open community forum moderated by NYU Tandon professor and interdisciplinary artist, Carla Gannis. It was a great evening of compelling questions, opinions and insights.

Each year, we choose our three must-see films from the Tribeca Film Festival program as SLMBR PRTY FAVES and we throw them a party in celebration of their work and in celebration of our NYC Film Community! This year's three FAVES were Nepotism, Baby! (directed by Tij D'oyen), Smile, God Loves You (directed by Elexis Ray Goodwin), and A Family Guide to Hunting (directed by Zao Wang).

On Thursday, March 28th, LA's women-owned camera house BECiNE hosted a mixer and lens demonstration in honor of Women's History Month. Members and leaders from seven organizations centered on women and non-binary people in film were invited to network and try out lenses from Atlas Lens Co, BandPro, Cooke, Leitz Cine, and Zeiss.

Participating groups included SLMBR PRTY, ICFC, Women in Media, Film Girlz Brunch, NYDF, Film Fatales, and Alliance of Women Directors.

Thank you for having us, BECiNE <3

It may have been freezing outside, but the competition was hot at SLMBR PRTY's first Movie Trivia Night! Hosted by Film Programmer & Nitehawk Trivia Host, Shay Filmore, film friends old and new came out to put their movie knowledge to the test. Thank you to our friends at the women-owned Talea Beer Co. for the beautiful, cozy venue and perfectly poured drinks! We can't wait for the next one :)

SLMBR PRTY and MiFilm teamed up to present Diversity Behind the Lens, a community event spotlighting select up-and-coming directors in the commercial space. Hosted by creative agency Johannes Leonardo, panelists Alaa Zabra, Brandon Haynes, Jacarrea Garraway, and Luis Santos delved into how they broke into the field, the catalytic events that got them started, deciding factors when choosing which jobs to take, honing your directorial style, and balancing client needs with that of your own, among other vital knowledge. Experiences on set as diverse and disabled filmmakers are rife with a lack of knowledge and accessibility, making events like these crucial for creating sustainable and equitable working environments.

On September 18th, Brooklyn came out for the NYC theatrical premiere of the SLMBR PRTY EP'd film, BLOW UP MY LIFE, at Nitehawk Cinema. Co-Directors Ryan Dickie and SLMBR PRTY's own Abby Horton spoke in a Q&A moderated by Christine Ng (DP - Poker Face, Ziwe, Rap Sh!t). Attendees joined for an after party at Lo Res - needless to say it was a magical night!

Our third annual Tribeca mixer was the perfect start to summer as the SLMBR PRTY community kicked off #Tribeca2023 by celebrating our three favorite shorts premiering at the festival: Blackwool (directed by Eubha Akilade), The K-Town Killer (directed by Vahan Bedelian & Healin Kweon), and Bellybutton (directed by Hilary Eden).

We've been genre-obsessed since our inception and for this event we highlighted three stellar shorts from Nyala Moon, Joanna Tsanis, and Annalise Lockhart who are making exciting new work in a variety of genres. The screening was followed by a filmmaker Q&A (moderated by Short of the Week Senior Programmer, Chelsea Lupkin) and a happy hour - all of which was graciously hosted by The Press Room at Alamo Drafthouse.

This event was programmed in partnership with our friends at PANO, a film industry non-profit dedicated to advancing the careers of women, non-binary, and GNC creators in Film, TV & Media.

While we aren't in the business of LOVE, we LOVE to network and build meaningful connections. Over the years, we've heard great feedback that some awesome partnerships have blossomed from meeting at our events. Directors have met DPs, Editors have met Colorists, and so on!

So, in honor of Valentine's Day, we did our own version of "speed dating". Hosted by our friends at Posteritati.
