The first annual Brooklyn SciFi Film Festival is on a mission to bring the best independent science fiction films to one of the most innovative and creative hubs in the world: Brooklyn. The first of its kind, this thrilling seven-day online festival will feature over 100 independent works by some of the most dynamic minds in the genre. Our panel of judges will select the best films for recognition and live screenings, and all selections will be available to stream online with a festival pass.

PLEASE NOTE: Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, All Screenings Are Online.  There will not be any live, in-person events this year.
