Easthampton Film Festival
Since 2022, the Easthampton Film Festival has been celebrating independent filmmaking and enriching our local arts scene by hosting events and workshops that bring people together through a shared passion for cinema.
What’s Happening
Five College Film Festival March 7
The Five College Film Festival showcases short films from students across the Five Colleges. The mission of The Five College Film Festival’s is to share the stories of students from across the Five Colleges through the medium of film. We hope that all students, regardless of background or experience with filmmaking, share their stories. The annual festival will be held in-person on Saturday, March 7, 1:00PM - 7:00PM at Pruyne Lecture Hall, Amherst College. The festival is organized by students, for students!
The deadline for submissions was Friday, February 13, 2026.

Calling student filmmakers
