“The 26th edition of BFF was a wonderful journey, with a diverse and eccentric film program, curated by a group of programmers who made the 2023 fest, Human Times, a truly remarkable adventure. A quirky, but optimistic trajectory, in a world that struggles to find a balance,” said Marco Ursino, Brooklyn Film Festival Executive Director. “Thanks to the indie filmmakers for helping us reimagine a brand new world.”
