Brooklyn’s Greenpoint Film Festival 2023 wraps a great fest with a green carpet

Prior to the film festival’s filmmaker awards presentations and Closing Night screening of Saim Sadiq’s Canes award winner Joyland, Brooklyn’s Greenpoint Film Festival held their green carpet accenting the fest’s attention to eco-friendly details by having a step and repeat made out of wood.

However, the filmmakers, cast members, and documentary subjects were anything but wooden at the film festival which had all the indie and youthful energy that you would expect at a film festival which makes its home in Brooklyn.
