Shorts & to the Point
Fri March 24 – 7:30 PM / Sat March 25 – 7:30 PM / Sun March 26 3:00 PM
Each year the Brookfield Arts Commission puts on this area favorite. Members chose a selection of Oscar nominated and other award winning short films for the festival. Additionally, they hope that you will enjoy this year’s offering as much as you have in previous years.
Regional Indie Afternoon
Sat March 25 – 2:00 PM
Last year’s highly successful independent regional filmmaker festival makes its return. Markedly, up and coming filmmakers in Connecticut and bordering states submit their films and the Commission members review the films for inclusion. The Regional Indie Afternoon block of the Brookfield Film Festival was created to provide a platform for local filmmakers to introduce their work and discuss topics from their films as well as the filmmaking process. Overall we cannot wait to see what this year has to offer our attendees!
Read-Through Indie Morning
Sat March 25 – 10:00 AM
New this year, Read-Through Indie Morning is a block of the Brookfield Film Festival created in conjunction with the Brookfield Theatre for the Arts. Specifically this will provide screenwriters an opportunity to showcase a scene from a finished script and to network with actors.
