The annual Wavestock Film Festival brings artists and the audience into an immersive day saturated with aesthetic pleasures, great food from local food trucks, masterfully crafted beer from Flagship Brewery, music of local musicians and DJ's and an all day Film Festival situated in Flagship's brew room transformed into large screen movie theater. It's a great day for everyone and every year it increases in attendance and quality content. We at Sitewave and Crossfire take pleasure in bringing this all day celebration of the arts to the Staten Island community. Please join us for this day of drinks, food, films, and fun.

    Wavestock was one of the warmest and most welcoming festivals I've ever attended. The quality of films was top notch and the attendees were both supportive and unpretentious, a rarity in the film festival game. I love these guys. Great job Wavestock!!!

    Wavestock is the most exciting film festival I've had the pleasure of attending in 2024. Not only was the venue warm and inviting (plus great beer), but the quality of films selected was consistently great, and the audio/visual hardware made for a high fidelity watching experience. I loved this festival and can't wait to submit/attend again.

    We’re incredibly grateful to Wavestock Film Festival for programming Rendezvous! From the start, their communication was outstanding, keeping us informed and making the experience seamless. Our writer/actress attended the festival and shared how much she enjoyed the fun and welcoming vibe. She mentioned that the organizer was DJ-ing, which added such a unique, community-centered feel to the event. It’s wonderful to see a festival fostering such a supportive and creative atmosphere. Thank you for having us!
