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!
