The Art of Brooklyn Film Festival is the only independent international film festival for, by and about the Brooklyn, New York indie film scene. The AoBFF screens work by Brooklyn-born, Brooklyn-based and Brooklyn-centric filmmakers. That is, those who live or work in the borough; were born, raised and/or spent significant time here and international films that were shot in or inspired by Brooklyn. We are unique in that every film we show has a connection to Brooklyn’s indie film scene — in the borough and around the world. Our official website is aobff.org

** When you submit your film, you MUST send an email to filmfestival@theartofbrooklyn.org with subject line “Click AoBFF.” In the email include the name of your film and a description of how it is connected to Brooklyn. You must include this information for your film to be eligible. Thank you! **
