"First Look" primarily refers to an annual film festival presented by the Museum of the Moving Image (MoMI) in New York, showcasing adventurous new cinema with a focus on New York premieres, work-in-progress screenings, and discussions with filmmakers. The festival aims to expose audiences to new art and artists to new audiences, featuring a diverse slate of international feature and short films, encompassing fiction, nonfiction, performances, and experimental works. Additionally, there is the BYU First Look Film Festival, a student-produced event at Brigham Young University, highlighting student-created fiction films, documentaries, commercials, and animations. The HBCU First LOOK Film Festival, hosted at Howard University, focuses on elevating future Black storytellers with screenings, masterclasses, and networking opportunities for HBCU students and alumni.
