AoBFF will accept submissions from October 1st - to Feb 28th, 2015, with a special extended deadline of March 15th for Withoutabox users. AoBFF guarantees that every film submitted will be considered by our Film Screening Panel, up until midnight on the final day of submissions.
Founded in 2011 by working artists, the Art of Brooklyn Film Festival is the only independent, international festival for, by and about Brooklyn indie film — a local scene with global influence. AoBFF screens films from all over the world whose creators are connected to Brooklyn’s diverse independent film community. For example, in years past AoBFF has programmed a documentary by an Italian filmmaker about a Hassidic Brooklyn rapper, an Australian horror film by a Brooklyn-born filmmaker, Japanese and Canadian films that were shot in our borough, and a Turkish film directly inspired by Brooklyn’s diversity — in addition to scores of indies by Brooklyn based filmmakers across genres. Every film must describe how it’s connected to Brooklyn to be eligible for the AoBFF.
2015 will mark the Art of Brooklyn Film Festival’s 5th anniversary, a benchmark year for indie film festivals. “Five is a very important number for us” says Festival Director Jason Cusato. “It shows we’ve created something that has become part of the cultural landscape of Brooklyn. We’ve grown every year and we have great things planned for our fifth anniversary.” A.R.T.S.Y. Magazine named AoBFF the 1# film festival in the United States in 2014. INDUSTRY Magazine called AoBFF “An indie gem that showcases the best of the Borough” and The L Magazine said it’s “A film festival for Brooklyn, by Brooklyn and About Brooklyn.”

About The Art Of Brooklyn
 Eden
(The Art of Brooklyn) The Art of Brooklyn Film Festival (AoBFF) is the only international film festival that’s all about Brooklyn‐born, Brooklyn-based and Brooklyn-centric films and filmmakers. The AoBFF screens films from all over the world whose makers live, work in, or are inspired by Brooklyn’s independent film scene. We welcome submissions from everywhere, just tell us how you or your film are connected to Brooklyn.
What makes the Festival stand out from other opportunities available to filmmakers? *
Unlike other festivals that are just located in the borough, The AoBFF is the only independent international festival for, by and about Brooklyn indie film—a local scene with a global influence. For example, in addition to films from Brooklyn-based filmmakers, we have screened a documentary by an Italian filmmaker about a Hassidic Brooklyn rapper, a Turkish film inspired by Brooklyn’s diversity, a horror film by a Brooklyn-born director who lives in Australia and a Canadian feature film shot entirely in our borough. Every year we focus on a select group of filmmakers in one of the most important emerging settings for independent film in the world.
Since Brooklyn is home to so many artists we have created a special category for experimental films that defy genre classification: Film As Art. We designed Film As Art to showcase artist-made works on film and video that are rarely seen outside of gallery settings. Each year we present the Vanguard Award for outstanding achievement in this category, to support experimentation and encourage envelope pushing in independent film.
Our filmmakers have their work judged by industry professionals. The AoBFF judging panel includes the actors Annabella Sciorra and Eric Mabius and directors Elliot Lester (Blitz) and Demian Lichtenstein (3000 Miles to Graceland); noted film scholars like Annette Danto and Mary Engel; and prominent festival professionals like actor and curator at Michigan’s prestigious Waterfront Film Festival Christine Elise McCarthy (ER, 90210) and Terry Nelson, Festival Director for the Beacon Independent Film Festival.
