[BROOKLYN, NEW YORK]- Brooklyn Film Festival (BFF) announces the film lineup for its 27th edition, Immersion. The 2024 edition will feature 36 World Premieres, 16 US premieres, 24 east coast debuts, and 43 first-time screenings in NY.

The festival will also present 40 narrative shorts, 24 documentary shorts, 28 animations, and 24 experimental films. Furthermore, 20 films will be shown, online only, as part of kidsfilmfest, now in its 20th year.

On May 31, BFF will open the festival with the East Coast premiere of the historical and poetic story, a choral in structure, a hybrid between documentary and fiction, Atikamekw Suns. Directed by Chloé Leriche, it is the story of tragic loss and is freely inspired by the dreams, impressions, and memories of the victims’ loved ones.

The online lineup (all the films selected) will be available 24/7 from June 1–9. Tickets for theater screenings can be purchased in advance, online.

Along with the film screenings, BFF will offer additional events — both on social media and on the festival website. The video server will once again be hosted by Cinesend.
