Hey, it's cold outside!

So take a break from sightseeing by heading indoors for the Winter Film Festival. It's the 13th year for this program, which places a special emphasis on highlighting the work of under-represented filmmakers. The event runs from February 19 - February 23, and everyone's sure to find a flick they're interested in.

87 films from all around the world will be showcased this year: documentaries, dramas, animated films, horror films and music videos.

The list includes 14 student films and 29 from first-time directors. In addition, more than half of the films were made by women and directors of color.

Some highlights:

• Documentary Day on February 22, with docs scheduled all day.

• Bloody Saturday Night Horror, also on the 22nd, with 14 films from 7 countries guaranteed to scare the beejezus out of you.

• $5 short film matinees on the 20th and 21st.

• Four films from Spain on the 20th.

• Plus five short film blocks each day from the 20th through the 22nd.

Screenings take place in midtown, at the LOOK Dine-In Cinemas, and tickets are $12.50 in advance/$16 at the door. Students pay only $5. In general, you'll find a mix of shorts and feature-length films plus a 20-minute Q&A session with the filmmakers.
