With their tagline of "7 Premieres, 7 Parties" and festival line up filled with emerging directors, New York City's GenArt Film Festival feels like Tribeca's hip younger sibling. One of the seven films will win the festival's jury prize. This year's festival jury will consist of director Jay Duplass, TV correspondent Ben Lyons, and Indiewire's very own Matt Singer.

Tickets are still available through their website. Missed Connections Director: Martin Snyder (Comedy) In a city of 19 million people, love at first sight happens every instant.
