Looking for a cinephile New Year’s resolution? We’ve got you covered! Whether you’re hoping to expand your horizons, deepen your film knowledge, or just make your movie nights a little more intentional, here are a few ideas to get you started: 🎬 Commit to a filmmaker deep-dive Pick a director whose work you’ve always wanted to explore and watch their entire filmography. 📚 Catch up on classics Choose 12 (or 24!) classics that you’ve never seen and make your way through the list. ✍️ Write a review or reflection after each movie Challenge yourself to write a few sentences or paragraphs after every movie you watch this year. 🗂️ Chip away at the NYT’s “Best Movies of the 21st Century” list No pressure to finish it, but you could commit to watching the top 10 or 20. 🎥 Watch more international films You could pick a different region or country each month and discover new perspectives and cinematic styles. 🍿 Only watch movies you haven’t seen before A challenge for the creatures-of-habit. Drop your resolutions in the comments ⬇️ Whatever you choose, here’s to a new year filled with discovery and unforgettable storytelling. Happy New Year from all of us at NashFilm 🎞️✨

As we close out our #FueltheFutureofFilm campaign, we’re turning the spotlight on the filmmakers and screenwriters who make NashFilm what it is. Hear directly from alumni who attended #NashFilm56 about how this community supported their work, their voices, and their careers—and why this mission matters beyond a single festival week. Your support makes this work possible. Before turning the page on 2025, we invite you to make a final gift and help us keep independent voices seen and heard. Make a tax-deductible donation at the link in our bio.
