Film Festivals have never been so easy to access

In a time where art, literature and film are less accessible in person, it’s time to look at what is still available online. 

Film festivals are huge events that happen worldwide, but with the shifting times, there are several events that will be happening on smaller screens this year.

 

May 29 to June 7: The Brooklyn Film Festival is having their 23rd film festival. With over 148 films coming in from each continent, they will be fighting for the “Grand Chameleon” and 28 other awards offered. Due to the current situation, they will be allowing free access through their website: https://www.brooklynfilmfestival.org/?gclid=CjwKCAjw7-P1BRA2EiwAXoPWAxDccLm_-225G_0A-l7Lgz_OT4M0dDm_1nAU6-OyapTo93KfRFwDLxoCd3YQAvD_BwE

 

May 22 to June 14: The Ashland Independent Film Festival would be holding its 19 year in person festival, but due to safety precautions, they plan to move online. Over 24 days, there will be 30 featurette films and over 108 short films. More information can be found on their website:
