‘Art of Brooklyn Film Festival’ returns with premiere of Aiello’s last film
Some in-person events reintroduced in Sunset Park
Brooklyn is bringing back a well-known film festival, this time including in-person screenings for the first time in two years. And the highlight will be a showing of Danny Aiello’s final film, “One Moment.”
Starting Tuesday, June 1, The Art of Brooklyn Film Festival is returning for its 11th year, in a mixed virtual and in-person format.
The festival was founded in 2011 in an attempt to engage both local fans of films and talented filmmakers in all parts of the borough. Ten festival premieres have gotten theatrical distribution to date — and one became an HBO series. Prior to COVID, the festival held events in 19 different venues in nine neighborhoods across Brooklyn.
