The 26th annual Stony Brook Film Festival, presented by Island Federal, returns to live, in-person screenings at the Staller Center for the Arts from July 22-31, and will hold an encore presentation online a month later.
The festival will continue its partnership with IndieFlix Festivals and virtually offer this year’s slate of films, streaming on the IndieFlix Festivals app from August 5-30.
The Stony Brook Film Festival is popular with filmmakers and directors alike. Attendees return year after year to see new independent films that cannot be seen anywhere else, with new American premieres to the best foreign-language films from more than 15 countries.
This year’s festival boasts 35 films — available to watch evenings and weekends from Thursday, July 22 to Saturday, July 31 — with the encore option to watch virtually in August. The film schedule will be announced on June 9.
