  • The Crown Heights Film Festival is a boutique event hosted in the unique art gallery called FiveMyles. Watching a wide array of short films from all over the world in a gallery set the mood for viewing film as art and not just content consumption. The Crown Heights Film Festival organizers, George and Ruby, did a wonderful job programming thematically diverse films, immersing an audience in joy, thought-provoking revelry, and laughter. Congratulations to all the filmmakers included in CHFF’s 2023 lineup. We loved the experience and plan to come again.

    The Crown Heights Film Festival in Brooklyn is an outstanding festival for filmmakers, actors and crew. They gave the utmost respect to all involved in the filmmaking process, We had representation from all areas of our film, "Suction" and all were welcomed on stage to discuss their experiences with the large audience in attendance. There was excellent publicity and communication throughout by festival administrators. We are hopeful of returning with our next film in 2023.
