Greenpoint Film Festival Creative Director Ricardo Vilar, said, “This was a wonderful edition of the film festival, highlighted by a coming together of filmmakers both local and as far away as Europe and Asia to share their films with us and connect with each other, here in North Brooklyn. It was exciting to hear audience members and their fellow filmmakers give feedback with conversations inspired by the thought provoking subjects and entertaining cinema they had just watched. Presenting these awards was a perfect way to wrap up a fantastic event celebrating truly independent film.”

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.

Greenpoint Film Festival Creative Director Ricardo Vilar, said, “We are thrilled to be returning indoors for this year’s edition of the film festival. We’re having fun when say we are “steaming” our films this year since we’ll be in The Boiler but our lineup definitely has a lot of heat with award winners, thought provoking subjects, exciting new talent, and more. For more than a decade, we have celebrated cinema here in North Brooklyn, and this year’s edition looks to be one of our strongest yet.”
