"The Art of Brooklyn... the borough's signature independent film festival"

Help support independent artists.

Funding for arts nonprofits is under attack like never before, and Art of Brooklyn is not immune. But our mission to showcase diverse artistic voices is stronger than ever… and you can help us create the experiences our filmmakers and audiences deserve.

Visit our new merch store on Dashery to shop our festival merch, Brooklyn history, and cinephile designs. All available on apparel and accessories — with all proceeds going toward expenses like venue rentals, paying artists, and more.
Support our 501c3 nonprofit with a fully tax-deductible donation.

“I love AoBFF. Their focus on Brooklyn films and filmmakers speaks to me because I was born and raised here, and it influenced who I am as an artist. Hollywood has always had a love affair with Brooklyn, which now has a festival worthy of its incredibly diverse film scene.”
