The Red Hook Brooklyn Film Festival grew from the neighborhood’s creative heartbeat — a community of filmmakers, artists, and neighbors who believe stories can shape a city. What began as a local weekend celebration quickly evolved into a ten-day festival showcasing films made in, about, and inspired by Red Hook’s spirit of resilience and collaboration.
Now in its third iteration, with a new name and expanded vision, the festival honors that heritage while amplifying voices across South Brooklyn and beyond. It’s a reflection of the neighborhood itself — bold, diverse, and unafraid to say something true.
The 2026 Red Hook Brooklyn Film Festival marks a bold new chapter—introducing outdoor screenings on a 32-foot screen, award categories, and multiple screening sites that transform the neighborhood into an immersive Red Hook style multiplex. This year expands our reach and ambition, shaping Red Hook into a true destination for filmmakers across New York City—a festival that champions the neighborhood’s creative grit and celebrates its voice on a larger stage.

“Everything about the experience of shooting at Green Lung is easy from the moment we arrive - it's always easy to park, making it easy to load in and get set up, and of course to load out as well. It's a very pleasant place to be, the space is warm and unique, it just generally has a very good vibe to it that helps us thrive in what we're doing.”
