There is much more to the New Hampshire Film Festival than screening a hand-selected
batch of excellent independent films. Some of the most fulfilling and memorable experiences
happen when the projectors are turned off.
After most screenings throughout the entirety of the Festival, an opportunity is provided
for a film’s creator to talk about his or her work and field questions from the audience.
This is what truly sets the New Hampshire Film Festival apart from the traditional movie-going
experience. It’s a time to break through the silver screen and learn about what went on
behind the scenes in a very personalized way.
In addition to these Question & Answer sessions, each year the New Hampshire Film Festival
offers professional development and educational opportunities for filmmakers, screenwriters
and film enthusiasts. An annual staple of the Festival is the Young
Filmmakers Workshop, a comprehensive, multi-day journey through filmmaking for 14-18 year
olds. This year, the Festival is also proud to present six additional
Workshops and Panel Discussions. They range from professional
workshops such as “Cinematography for Directors” to more amateur workshops such as “Guerilla
Distribution.”
The New Hampshire Film Festival is not all about the art and business of movies, it’s also about
socializing, networking and above all, fun! The Opening Night Ceremonies, the
After-Parties, the Closing Night Ceremonies and Awards – these
are chances to let loose and meet new people that share a passion for films. These events are
what make the Festival the talk of the city!
