After three decades in the dark, The Passengers emerges.

Shot in New York City in the 1990s and locked away ever since, this film reveals raw, unrehearsed confessions from a group of strangers—captured at a time when the world was shifting, quietly. Their words echo in today’s world with uncanny relevance.

Now, The Passengers will screen on June 6th at the 17th Annual NYC Independent Film Festival, held June 3–8, 2025, at the Producers Club in Manhattan. A glimpse into the past. A reflection of the present.

No actors. No script. Just voices—finally heard.
