Announcing the Official Selections of the 2016 Art of Brooklyn Film Festival

We are very proud to announce the Official Selections for the 6th Annual AoBFF (June 4-12, 2016.) We are the only festival in the world that exclusively features films created and catalyzed within Brooklyn's independent film scene, which has members living and working independently in multiple countries.

In order to qualify for the Art of Brooklyn Film Festival filmmakers have to make a case for how they participate in Brooklyn’s indie film scene either in the borough itself or around the world.  

​Congratulations to all our 2016 filmmakers!
