Brooklyn's Greenpoint Film Festival is back for 2023 with a return to indoor screenings and a major focus on Ukraine and Poland. The 12th annual edition runs from August 2-6 with screenings that celebrate truly independent films and filmmakers.
The film festival will include 48 films (10 features, 38 shorts), with screenings at The Boiler / ELM Foundation (191 N. 14th Street). Greenpoint Film Festival will kick things off with an Opening Night "Echoes of Ukraine" theme featuring Elwira Niewiera and Piotr Roslowski’s documentary The Hamlet Syndrome. Saim Sadiq’s Joyland will be the closing night selection.
Film industry catering favorites Wilson Rivas Crafts will have a food truck on the premises providing food and concessions for film goers and attendees. The Boiler’s backyard will serve as the film festival’s film-centric community mixer epicenter — open to the public and serving food and beverages before everyone heads inside for that day or evening’s air-conditioned screenings.
