Across The Globe Film Festival (XTGFF) was founded on the idea that storytelling is universal. Stories build a bridge between different cultures and people — showing just how much we have in common with one another. XTGFF is dedicated to filmmaking and connecting the world through entertainment. Through this process, we meet people along the way discovering that our dreams are shared and our ambition is matched.
XTGFF provides an opportunity for independent filmmakers and cinephiles from all over the world to showcase their work. Across The Globe succeeded as an online festival for two years with close to 1,000 submissions from all over the world. John Fessler, founder of XTGFF, is excited to transform the festival into a live in-person event this April for members of the NYC film community to stay engaged and inspired. The event will also serve as a great networking opportunity for creatives and industry representatives from around the world to connect.
