This past week-end I went to the Tribeca film festival and I was blown away by the film and concert of The Orchestra Di Piazza Vittorio.

An unlikely story of how two Romans created an orchestra comprised entirely of immigrants from all over the world living in one area of the Eternal City. When 30 different musicians playing 15 unrelated instruments finally take the stage, they provide a rousing call to arms for all who believe in the mini-miracles of neighborhood cultural initiatives.

This got me thinking about the fact that Brooklyn could do this better than any city because we have the most ethic groups of any American city. Brooklyn loves music and Brooklyn loves film! Here are a list of the some amazing film festivals in Brooklyn.
