All proceeds from the festival, raise funds for the non-profit arts

Island USA.
The Coney Island Film Festival screens a truly eclectic
range of films from the U.S. and all over the world and much to the delight of
our audience features a number of "made in Coney Island" productions
each year. In 2015 the Coney Island Film Festival is celebrating its 15th
anniversary.
The festival's ties to carny culture are undeniable. Our
screening venues are the legendary Sideshows by the Seashore theater, home to
America's last authentic 10-in-1 circus sideshow and the Coney Island Museum.
Our infamous opening night celebrations feature live performances by sideshow
& burlesque stars.
The Festival has been named "One of MovieMaker Magazine's Coolest Film Festivals in the World" and "25 Festivals Worth the Entry Fee".
