🎬 🐕 **The 10th Annual NY Dog Film Festival -- Opera Plaza Theater** 🔆 **The NY Dog Film Festival** is an annual philanthropic celebration of the love between dogs and their people. The festival's short films are heartwarming, funny, and inspiring, and when you buy a ticket, you’re also helping dogs in need -- the proceeds support Muttville. The 15 films in the 10th Annual Dog Film Festival were chosen from 64 submissions from the United States as well as Australia, Canada, China, Egypt, Germany, Mexico, Morocco, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, South Africa, Switzerland and the UK. We continue a decade of celebrating the relationship between people and dogs in short films that will take you on a roller-coaster ride of emotions. In particular, there are 2 films that won the Purina Dog Chow Service Dog Salute, depicting the life-saving bond between specially trained service dogs and veterans with PTSD. All the films are appropriate to delight and inspire all members of the human family. â–Ș **Meet at 6:15 sharp** at Opera Plaza Theater â–Ș **Be sure to buy your ticket NOW.** This movie WILL SELL OUT. **I'm in seat G10.** https://www.landmarktheatres.com/movies/1000036798-ny-dog-film-festival-2026/?date=2026-02-25 â–Ș **Message me when you've purchased a ticket** and I'll move you off the waitlist. â–Ș **PLEASE don't be a no-show.** If your plans change, remember to update your RSVP prior to the event. â–Ș **A late cancelation** will count as a no-show.
