The NY Dog Film Festival

The NY Dog Film Festival® is an annual philanthropic celebration of the love between dogs and their people.

The Festival is a two-hour medley of animated, documentary and narrative short films from around the world with a canine theme. The Festival premieres every year in New York City, then travels to theaters across the United States with 10% of every ticket benefiting a local dog rescue.

The 10th Annual NY Dog Film Festival (which premiered in New York City on October 26th 2025 and is now the country throughout 2026) features two prize-winning films in the Service Dog Salute category, sponsored by Purina Dog Chow, which provided cash prizes for these films about veterans whose lives have been positively impacted by the specially trained PTSD service dogs by their sides. 

The Film Society will donate 10% of ticket sales to the Brandywine Valley SPCA, our chosen benefactor.
