Brooklyn International Film Festival
Still from Radiophobia winner of the 2006 Best Documentary Award
New York
30th May - 8th June 2008
Brooklyn International Film Festival's mission is to discover, expose, and promote independent filmmakers while drawing worldwide attention to Brooklyn as a center for cinema. BiFF is a festival for and by independent filmmakers.
In 2006 the 9th Brooklyn International Film Festival was titled Enigma-9. While people all over the world are eagerly searching for answers in a world of uncertainties, and the complexity of modern life makes it more difficult to answer moral questions, the festival engages in a rather enigmatic exploration: the quest for the most delicate and difficult questions of our times. BiFF 2006 had as its central aim to stimulate the intellect and inspire conversation among people of diverse backgrounds. In particular looking at the world from it's many viewpoints where inconsistencies and ambiguities strive to coexist.
