It’s music. It’s art. It’s film. It’s the biggest event to take place in Williamsburg, and it's starting Thursday, June 16, and running until Sunday, June 19.

In addition to the classic entertainment, the Northside Festival, run by the L Magazine, will also include panels to discuss everything from ideas to implementation. And the Brooklyn Flea is partnering with Northside to bring more food to the festival. All Northside Festival badge holders will receive an “Eat Free at the Flea!” ticket.

The film series will be held at indieScreen and will be curated by some of the most respected voices in indie filmmaking today: IFC, Rooftop Films, indieWIRE, Animation Block Party, Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP), BAM, NewFest and FilmBuff.

The new Do-It-Yourself Film Festival, a competitive showcase for shorts and features, will feature upstart movie makers at UnionDocs, where they will be screened before a mash-up jury of DIY pioneers, Brooklyn celebrities and established directors.

Here is a guide to some of the films and panels:
