ABOUT:
Scene: Brooklyn is Brooklyn Arts Council's annual film and media arts program, presenting quarterly film screenings, with a multi-day centerpiece event each spring.
The flagship spring program features screenings of short films, documentaries, animation, and experimental works by Brooklyn based artists and filmmakers. Screenings are held at venues around downtown Brooklyn, including Galapagos Art Space. Additionally, the series includes a filmmaking panel, reception and awards ceremony.
Seasonal screenings and filmmaker talks take place throughout the year in BAC gallery’s screening room in DUMBO, Brooklyn in conjunction with Dumbo First Thursday Gallery Walks, as well as other sites around Brooklyn.
Scene: Brooklyn serves Brooklyn and the wider New York community by providing quality film and media arts programming that reflects Brooklyn's ethnic and cultural diversity. It also gives audiences an opportunity to get acquainted with the artists who live in their borough, and a chance to see non-commercial films locally.

Films submitted prior to that date will be considered for the spring program, as well as for the seasonal screenings at BAC Gallery and elsewhere.
