The Secrets of the Dead Short Horror Film Festival NYC is an annual cinematic event dedicated to showcasing short horror films, typically ranging from one to twenty minutes in length. Held in New York City, often at Film Noir Cinema in Brooklyn, the festival explores themes related to death and the human condition. Curated by Jeffrey Wengrofsky, it has been an active part of the New York film scene for over a decade, offering a platform for filmmakers to present original works from various genres, including narrative, documentary, music video, and animation.
