We can’t believe it’s February already! The MIX NYC team is busy preparing for another year of innovative programming. But we’re not done reminiscing about MIX FEST 2025 just yet. Here are a few more highlights from last year’s festival. 📸 Photo credits: Aderet Fishbane, Zhiyu Li, Blake Pruitt

MIX NYC @mixnyc.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

In a context where we are once again under attack and finding our rights being pushed back, we want to thank you all for being a very bright spot in our lives, for being the community we always imagined having.

011

MIX NYC @mixnyc.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

Being in this practice of working together to ask and answer these questions makes us stronger as a community and ready for anything that can be thrown at us. MIX was founded during a time of great loss and crisis, when AIDS both decimated the queer community and made it fiercely resilient.

111

MIX NYC @mixnyc.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

We are all in a practice right now, a devoted habit of asking each other what we need, what we want to achieve, and how we can support each other to make them happen.

111

MIX NYC @mixnyc.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

But beyond that, we’re creating one of the few spaces in our lives that isn’t fueled by capitalism – instead, it’s run by mutual aid and with care.

MIX NYC @mixnyc.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

We brought together artists and revelers for three days of queer, experimental films and celebration. On the surface, we’re putting on a queer experimental film festival. Showcasing work that won’t be bought and sold, all of us working without monetary pay.

In this wide-ranging program, experimental film and video works at the intersections of these ideas offer self-reflection and humor as well as pure abject jouissance.

MIX NYC @mixnyc.bsky.social · 26/09/2025

In the right-wing imagination, queer sexuality, gender nonconformity, devil worship, and a sordid lust for violence and carnage have long been inextricable.

Amidst the latest religious-paranoia-fueled surge in evergreen fears of satanism, queers have – as always – found ourselves at the center of the fray.
