This year’s theme, “Producing The Dream,” explores what it takes to bring dreams to life, celebrating the artistry and effort that filmmakers pour into their work to reflect our shared stories.
Audiences will be taken on a journey through stories of dreamers, creators, lovers, and everyday heroes. From comedies about breakups to heartwarming tales of resilience, explorations of technology and AI, and suspenseful thrillers, the lineup captures the ways our lives are interconnected and how we shape each other’s paths.
In addition to the opening night and film screenings, the festival will host special events such as an industry luncheon, comedy night, screenplay reading, and live performances of film scores. The awards night and reception will present categories including Best Feature, Best Short, Best Screenplay, Audience Choice, and more. The festival will close on Sunday, October 20th, with a showcase of award-winning films.
As Bushwick continues to grow as a hub for emerging talent, the Bushwick Film Festival remains dedicated to showcasing fresh voices often overlooked by larger festivals!
