5/14/2020)
By Kimberly Burke
Brooklyn Film Festival will run around the clock from May 29 at 1:00AM EST thru Sunday, June 7 at 11:00PM EST. The 148 films in competition are from every continent and are free to watch during the duration of the festival. Corona Virus has altered the face to face of this 23rd annual TURNING POINT evolution of the Brooklyn Film Festival. The festival is encouraging you to "Simply register an account with the festival, then login and enjoy 148 films!"
Films will play on the Festvial's website: www.brooklynfilmfestival.org. Vimeo will be hosting the video server. Viewers will be promoted after the films to vote on a scale of 1 to 5 for the films. Audience voting will be limited to one vote per email account. The festival will count your votes on June 7 and the six audience award winners (one per category) will be announced. BFF awards the winners of the festival with prizes totaling more than $50,000 in film services, products, and cash.
The KIDS FILM FEST 2020 will take place for the 16th year and will also be accessible online for free G rated content. Due to current social distancing, the 9th annual BFF Exchange will not be possible and has been cancelled.
