The Bronx, New York, March 23, 2026. – Bronx World Film, the borough’s pioneer arthouse film presenter, celebrates its fifteenth anniversary with a special evening of film and arts on Wednesday, April 22nd under the aegis of Bronx Frame (the film/moving-image exhibition and public programming initiative of the historic Andrew Freedman Home).
The event will screen 30 short films by 33 directors from 18 countries culled from its catalogue in a full-on display of its signature arc of wide-ranging styles, genres, formats and geographies with local and international filmmakers alike on the marquee.
Additional highlights include performances and a pre-launch of the Nican Mopohua app, an artistic recreation of the manuscript chronicling the appearance of the Virgin of Guadalupe to a Mexican peasant on Tepeyac Hill in Tenochtitlán (ancient Mexico City).
The brainchild of illluminated manuscript expert Ramón Abajo, produced by The Vellum Page and a team of young Spanish artists and narrated by Executive Director Walter Krochmal, the app is of special interest to filmmakers for the new possibilities it points to in audiovisual microproduction.

ABOUT TODAY’S VENUE:
Sankofa Haus


2422 Third Ave
Bronx, NY 10454

Bronx World Film Cycle closes this evening with screenings at another extraordinary Bronx venue in a most unusual location.

is in the South Bronx, specifically Mott Haven district and even more cartographically acccurate still, in the Port Morris section.

This is where the few tattered remnants of The Bronx's old industrial waterfront meet the new Bronx with its gleaming residential spires, a little island of newcomers whose presence will surely change the character of the borough in the coming years.

The institution is the brainchild of Michael Eagen, a DJ who has lived and traveled all over the world and now offers the residents of the area a world-class multiuse venue that has to be experienced from the inside.

Thank you Michael for granting us the venue today. We look forward to greeting you all there!

ABOUT TODAY’S VENUE:
The Andrew Freedman Home


Bronx World Film Cycle continues today with screenings at this extraordinary Bronx arts institution.

The Andrew Freedman Home is located between East 164th-165th Streets on Grand Concourse, the Bronx’s response to the Champs Elyseés in Paris, only longer and wider. It boasts of the world’s largest cluster of Art Deco residential buildings still standing, and a power wash would reveal its gleaming splendor.

The Andrew Freedman Home is an oddity. Built originally as a residence for formerly wealthy people to live out the rest of their days in the style to which they had been accustomed, today it is a bustling arts center housing the full range of activities across all artistic disciplines.

Bronx World Film is present thanks to the welcome extended to it by Media Director Pierre Guillet, a distinguished filmmaker himself who has opened the institution’s doors wide to filmmakers from The Bronx and beyond.
