Venue: Andrew Freedman Home - 1125 Grand Concourse
The Bronx, New York, March 23, 2026. – Bronx World Film, the borough’s pioneer arthouse film presenter, celebrates its fifteenth anniversary with a special evening of film and arts on Wednesday, April 22nd under the aegis of Bronx Frame (the film/moving-image exhibition and public programming initiative of the historic Andrew Freedman Home). The event will screen 30 short films (10 minutes and under) by 33 directors from 18 countries culled from its catalogue, putting on display the organization’s wide-ranging arc of styles, genres, formats and provenance with local and international filmmakers on the marquee.
Additional highlights include performances and a pre-launch of the Nican Mopohua app, an artistic recreation of the manuscript chronicling the appearance of the Virgin of Guadalupe to a Mexican peasant on Tepeyac Hill in Tenochtitlán (ancient Mexico City). The brainchild of illluminated manuscript expert Ramón Abajo, produced by The Vellum Page and a team of young Spanish artists and narrated by Executive Director Walter Krochmal, the app is of special interest to filmmakers for the new possibilities it points to in audiovisual microproduction.
