From Boerum Hill to Bergen Beach, Fort Greene to Flatlands: It’s only Brooklyn when you count every neighborhood and every community. The Art of Brooklyn Film Festival is the first to showcase emerging filmmakers who are Brooklyn-born, Brooklyn-based and/or Brooklyn-centric. We are as diverse, vital and international as the borough itself.
The AoBFF features premieres from around the world, all of which have a meaningful link to the borough. That means cast or crewmembers were born, raised, or have lived in Brooklyn, the film was shot in Brooklyn, or Brooklyn was a major inspiration in the creation of the film.
The Art of Brooklyn Film Festival is presented annually by The Art of Brooklyn, an organization dedicated to showcasing the art and culture of the borough.
