The Brooklyn Film & Arts Festival is the first original
Brooklyn-focused film and arts program. The gathering presents programs that
illuminate the abundant, diverse cultural history of Brooklyn. Since the first
screening of Brooklyn films in 2007, the Brooklyn Film & Arts Festival has
presented Brooklyn-focused programs in screenings at the Brooklyn Historical
Society and Long Island University.
This year, the Brooklyn Film & Arts Festival is being
held in St. Francis College Friday, December 16th. The evening will
be focused on the Brooklyn non-fiction literature program, with readings by
five finalists for the Brooklyn Non-Fiction Prize with discussions with each
writer following their readings. The winner of the 2011 Brooklyn Non-Fiction
Prize will be announced at this event.
Following the readings, Brooklyn focused films will be
screened to include: Under the Roller
Coaster Directed by Lila Place, Hot
Bagels directed by Nick Manning and Coney
Island Winter directed by Doug Webb. After the screening, the public will
have the opportunity to discuss the films with the directors.
The Brooklyn Film
& Arts Festival will be open to the public so all are welcomed!
