Stony Brook Film Festival
The Stony Brook Film Festival, presented by Island Federal Credit Union and produced by Staller Center for the Arts at Stony Brook University, presents a program of new, independent films every summer since 1995. Features and short films from the U.S. and around the world are screened over ten days at Staller Center, which has been the venue since the festival's beginning.
