Immersion
Immersion is a great festival theme because to succeed in New York City, especially as an artist, you need to be all in. Half commitment won’t cut it. The best in the world are here.
The other side of immersion in your work, is that you need to be fully immersed in your true self. Many artists only got great once they fully embraced their personal identity, whatever that may be.
“Immersion is the theme of the 27th Brooklyn Film Festival. A theme that reveals the festival intention and the desire of our selected filmmakers to tell stories in a vertical fashion. Stories that dive way beyond the surface to force the audience to consider not only the obvious outcomes and meanings, but also the hidden and secret ones,” said the festival director, Marco Ursino. “In the extremely complex historical and political moment that we are experiencing, we need to understand the truth of things. BFF believes in the truthful spirit of indie filmmakers, and this year we offer the opportunity of a collective immersion, triggered by the film programs, the Q&As at the end of the screenings, the various networking parties, and the infinite chats on social media. We look forward to share with the filmmakers, the media, and the audience our true hopes and inner dreams. Enjoy the immersion.”
