Thank you for an incredible fifth season
We had a fantastic festival weekend, and we’re already talking about how to make it even better next year. Stay tuned for more fun events, and details on when we’ll be opening up submissions for EFF’27!
Filmmaker Meetups
We’re strategizing ways in which we can make these regularly-recurring networking sessions even better. If you have ideas, please let us know on the contact page!
Calling student filmmakers
If you are a student filmmaker in our area, there are two other festivals you should be aware of: The Northampton Youth Cinema Festival (6pm on April 26th) and The Williston Film Festival (May 2nd). Both are excellent opportunities for student filmmakers to showcase their work and meet collaborators - click on the links above to learn more about each, and get involved.
EFF is now on Letterboxd
We now have an HQ page on Letterboxd, and will be building that out more as we move forward. This will be another fun way to connect with our audiences and to help promote the indie filmmakers we feature each season, so definitely check it out!
