The Bushwick Film Festival (BFF) extended their submission deadline to August 15, 2024.
The 17th annual event is scheduled for October 16-20, 2024. This year’s theme, "Producing The Dream," is about exploring what it takes to realize a dream, and celebrating the incredible artistry, effort and creativity that filmmakers pour into their creative work to reflect our stories, according to a press release.
Since its founding, the Bushwick Film Festival has been a cornerstone for emerging and underrepresented filmmakers, providing a stage where unique voices can be heard.
"We are excited to spotlight the dedication and passion that filmmakers pour into their work," said festival founder Kweighbaye Kotee. “We hope audiences are moved by the stories on screen and inspired to take action in producing their own dreams.”
In addition to film screenings, the festival will feature Creative Community Day with industry panels, workshops, and neighborhood pop-ups; Youth Film Screenings showcasing high school talent and discussions on youth issues; comedy night with stand-up comedians and writers; live music with beloved film scores; and an awards night and closing party celebrating cinematic achievements, culminating in a finale showcasing all the award-winning films.
Filmmakers can submit their entries through the festival’s website at www.bushwickfilmfestival.com/submit.
