The Brooklyn Underground Film Festival was an annual showcase of typically low-budget, under-distributed or amateur videos and metavideos.
The festival also showed the work of emerging non-media artists.
The first festival included a large wheat paste mural by the artist known as Swoon.
The festival was founded in 2002 by graduates of Pratt Institute, Josh Koury, Myles Kane, Cris Moris and Gaia Cornwall.
It was funded in part by a growing number of local businesses.
