AoBFF Press Releases

Nico Tortorella talks #AoBFF15 and Brooklyn On Demand on New York Live:

'The Art of Brooklyn Film Festival is an indie gem that showcases the best of the borough…the festival has become a hub for the area’s indie film scene.'
'[AoBFF) envisions carving out a large swath of the borough that is currently underserved by cultural institutions and essentially untouched by the new trend-setting Brooklyn… Who will make these good films for [their] audience? Brooklyn filmmakers, of course.'
​
'Seems like every neighborhood in North Brooklyn these days has its own localized film festival that may or may not feature locally focused content. In contrast, [AoBFF] is a platform for Brooklyn-centric independent film…a film festival for Brooklyn, by Brooklyn and about Brooklyn.'
​
'The Brooklyn movie scene is certainly no small potato... But like many arts events in the borough, film festivals often hover over select neighborhoods and communities, giving filmgoers only the smallest taste of how diverse and varied Brooklyn truly is. The Art of Brooklyn Film Festival aims to change all that.'
​
'Seeking to promote Kings County’s cinematic indie cred... this showcase features independent filmmakers — both first-timers and Hollywood vets — who have lived and worked in the borough.'
