Greenpoint Film Festival Creative Director Ricardo Vilar, said, “This year’s edition of the film festival was by far the most ambitious and impactful edition we have presented here in North Brooklyn. From tripling our submissions to running 3 venues simultaneously with a program of 115 films screenings & 3 XR exhibits, to having sold over 1,000 tickets, our team truly outdid themselves. This year has set the vibes and tone we have been yearning for since the current team took the reins and we hope to continue expanding in the coming years, not just in numbers but in quality and fastidious care for filmmakers and their films.”
