Broadway Stages is proud to be a sponsor of the 13th annual Greenpoint Film Festival (GFF). The GFF expects over 1K filmmakers to attend from Wednesday, August 7, to Sunday, August 11. Screenings will take place at The Boiler at ELM on North 14th Street and at Film Noir Cinema on Meserole Avenue.

Founded in 2011, the GFF is a Brooklyn-based non-profit arts organization designed to create art/community projects. It is inspired by the regenerative environment and the expanding film industry in North Brooklyn, particularly in Greenpoint. Much like Broadway Stages, the Festival supports philosophical and social movements towards a more sustainable use of our resources, future-minded urban planning, and growing partnerships across the disciplines.

The GFF has tripled its output this year, with 118 films selected for screening. This includes 73 Short Films, 11 Feature Narratives, 17 Documentary Shorts, 9 Documentary Features, 5 Short Animations, and 3 Extended Reality (XR) art exhibits. Greenpoint XR is a unique venue that conveys to its guests the intrinsic value of merging storytelling with virtual reality, augmented reality, and mixed reality, collectively known as Extended Reality ("XR").

Moreover, the Festival will host 6 panels with renowned speakers and the U.S. premiers of "ANNA," a feature narrative by Marco Amenta that won the FEDIC Award at the 2023 Venice Film Festival, "RECEDING," a short narrative directed by Justin Lai and written by Truman Hanks, and "WHEN WE WERE OLD," a short narrative written and directed by Elizabeth Giamatti.

Special Greenpoint Film Festival awards will be given to a single winner for Best Doc Short, Best Doc Feature, Best Narrative Short, Best Narrative Feature, Best Animation Award, and Grand Jury Award.

Tickets for the events can be purchased here. For more information and updates, follow the Festival on Instagram and Facebook.

The Greenpoint Film Festival hopes to continue to amplify the themes of renewal and reclamation, showcase great art and film, and provide a platform for new thinking. Broadway Stages is confident that the Festival will be a leader in this cause. Please join us in celebrating the arts at the Greenpoint Film Festival. Get your tickets today!
