JULY 4 - JULY 6

The NY Dog Film Festival® is a medley of short films - animated, documentary and narrative - from around the world. These entertaining and inspirational movies celebrate all the ways we love our dogs. At the same time, we want to raise awareness of the life-saving work being done at small rescues and large shelters. In every location where the Dog Film Festival® travels, an animal welfare organization in the community will be the beneficiary of a portion of every ticket. For this screening, that organization is the Animal Protective Foundation. The APF hopes to be able to have information available about their organization at the event.
The NY Dog Film Festival® exists to celebrate the bond between dogs and people around the world, as seen through the work of brilliant filmmakers. At the same time, we want to raise awareness of the life-saving work being done at small rescues and large shelters by inviting their followers to the Festival and giving 10% of every ticket directly to the Blessed Paws of Lake Worth.

Wells' novel that presented a fictional alien invasion of Earth as a series of breaking news bulletins, simulating a real-time news broadcast, which led many listeners to believe a Martian attack was actually happening, causing widespread panic due to its realistic sound effects and panicked on-air reporting style. The story centered around a Martian landing in Grovers Mill, New Jersey, where the aliens emerged from cylindrical spacecraft and unleashed deadly heat rays against humans, causing mass chaos and ultimately a futile military response.
