The 7th Annual AoBFF (June 3–11, 2017) was one to remember. From entertaining 500 people in Sunset Park to our Launch Party in the beautiful atrium of the Library at Grand Army Plaza to our premieres, panel discussions and a special surprise visit from Neil deGrasse Tyson, #AoBFF17 was one wonderful event after another… with almost 2,000 guests in attendance. All in the service of Brooklyn independent film. We truly love every film we program, and each year our jury votes to recognize their favorites in each category. Congratulations to all our 2017 filmmakers… see you next year!
