Brooklyn Underground Film Festival
The Brooklyn Underground Film Festival was an annual showcase of typically low-budget, under-distributed or amateur videos and metavideos. The festival was initially held in DUMBO, Brooklyn and later moved to Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York. The festival ran from 2002-2007.
The festival also showed the work of emerging non-media artists. The first festival included a large wheat paste mural by the artist known as Swoon.
History
The festival was founded in 2002 by graduates of Pratt Institute, Josh Koury, Myles Kane, Cris Moris and Gaia Cornwall. It was funded in part by a growing number of local businesses.
The festival ceased operations in 2007.[1]
