As a filmmaker-focused event — and the only film festival exclusively devoted to the Brooklyn scene — The Art of Brooklyn is always looking for new ways to help emerging creators grow and succeed, while recognizing the hurdles and issues artists face.

​For 2o17 we've teamed up with industry players to bring a slate of educational workshops and hot-button panel discussions to our filmmakers and audiences. We've even programmed a block of them on Saturday, June 10 at St. Francis College to make it even easier to attend!
