NYC museum Spyscape will unveil a new film and TV festival in 2021.

Announced today, Spyflix, which kicks off on April 18th, 2021, will feature a slew of programming dedicated to secrets. In a statement, festival spokesperson Francis Jago said:

“Secrets are powerful and ancient narrative devices that tap deep into our psyche - inside each secret lies a who, what, how & why. They power some of the most successful franchises, from James Bond to Batman and from Harry Potter to Sherlock Holmes, and they’re core to the most engaging stories across news and current affairs, history and politics. SPYFLIX will help storytellers bring the power of secrets into sharper focus, stimulating greater discovery, and critical discourse around the genre.”

Submissions for the festival are live right now, and they’ll close on February 28th, 2021. All programming featured in the festival are eligible for cash prizes and awards in the categories of features, shorts, and series. Some of the people on the SPYFLIX Advisory Board and Jury include Village Roadshow Entertainment Group CEO Steve Mosko (The Matrix 4, The Athena Protocol, Joker), actress Laila Robins (The Blacklist, The Boys), and former FBI Supervisory Special Agent / Behavioral Profiler Jim Clemente (Criminal Minds).
