MIX NYC is the longest-running queer film festival in New York City. Established in 1987, at the height of the AIDS epidemic, by Jim Hubbard and Sarah Schulman, this DIY festival was organized in response to experimental film venues in New York City not programming contemporary work by LBGTQ+ filmmakers. As the nonprofit home of the annual New York Queer Experimental Film Festival and the ACT UP Oral History Project, MIX NYC has featured early works by filmmakers such as Christine Vachon, Todd Haynes, Isaac Julien, Thomas Allen Harris, Barbara Hammer, Juan Carlos Zaldivar, Jonathan Caouette, Jennie Livingston, Gus Van Sant, and Matthew Mishory.
