A celebration of outstanding genre cinema in the historic cradle of the American supernatural.
ABOUT
Hello,
We hope that you and your loved ones are staying well and safe in this challenging time.
For reasons that are obvious concerning the current pandemic, and after serious consideration, we have decided to postpone the SLEEPY HOLLOW FILM INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL (SHIFF) to OCT 14-17, 2021.
Beyond vital safety and health concerns which are most important, we also want to make sure it’s possible to put on the best fest we can. Postponing SHIFF to OCT 14-17, 2021 will allow us to do just that. We have confirmed our venues, the historic Tarrytown Music Hall, the Warner Library and more for these new 2021 dates.
We will continue to accept film and script submissions now for SHIFF 2021 via FilmFreeway. If you have already submitted a feature film, a short, or screenplay, for this year’s postponed fest, know that your entry remains completely valid, and that it remains in official consideration for the OCT 2021 fest. More information on this will soon be available on our site here, and the new dates/deadlines are already posted on our FilmFreeway posting. (https://filmfreeway.com/SleepyHollowInternationalFilmFestival). Feel free to email us at info@sleepyhollowfilmfest.com with any inquiries regarding this.
In the meantime, remain well and safe! Let’s get through this together and we’ll see you for an amazing 2nd year of SHIFF in Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown, NY OCT 14-17, 2021!

And the reverie continues: This special place, this remarkable hollow of the indescribable, bewitched not only Irving, but also artists of every creative pursuit for the next two centuries—including masters of the cinematic arts. Sleepy Hollow International Film Festival celebrates this legacy of artistic inspiration and achievement.
But it is not enough to look back. Just as Irving used the Hudson Valley as a wellspring of extraordinary ideas to push his art forward, SHIFF strives to bring important works from current and future filmmakers into the world with exciting new films in competition and premiere screenings.
