Since 2013, Artists & Beers has been bringing filmmakers and film lovers together in a relaxed, "no-frills" setting that celebrates independent cinema. Founded by film festival programmer Chip Parham and hosted by filmmakers Nancy Pop and Curran Banach, the series has supported hundreds of local filmmakers (from students to seasoned pros) over its 13-year run.

Each month, we screen a handpicked mix of shorts, music videos, and short docs across all genres. Screenings are followed by lively Q&As, giving audiences and artists the chance to connect, share ideas, and spark new collaborations.

Our current home is "All Night Skate" in Ocean Hill, Brooklyn–one of the top 10 bars in the country, where we regularly pack the house with filmmakers, neighbors, and film fans alike.

The best part? It’s completely free and open to the public. Whether you’re here to screen your work, discover new voices, or just enjoy a great night out, Artists & Beers is a community where cinema and conversation thrive.

Before submitting, please review our Rules & Terms.

Come raise a glass, watch some films, and be part of Brooklyn’s most spirited indie film tradition!
