Dozens of filmmakers gathered at Queens Borough Hall in New York City for the 2025 Queens World Film Festival Presser on October 15. The 2025 Spirit of Queens honoree was Warrington Hudlin.
According to the announcement sent out via e-mail to people with tickets, the event started at 10am. People were invited to come at 9:30 to mingle and have some snacks and coffee.
Before 10, Cata announced that the building had scheduled a shelter-in-place fire drill at 10am exactly. This caused a delay in the proceeding, but after about 15 minutes things were able to start. By the time many filmmakers were in attendance, each at a table set up to allow people to come ask them about their film.
