New Bedford Film Festival Coming in April

New Bedford will host its second annual film festival this April and it's sure to showcase some of the area's best film creators.

Last year, New Bedford hosted is inaugural film festival to much fanfare across the film community, and it has only gotten bigger this year.

The Second Annual New Bedford Film Festival will take place April 10th-13 starting with an exclusive two-hour screening of the honorees at the Steeple Playhouse. That will be followed by an after party at the stunning Harbor Hotel.

The following two days will be stacked with screenings and networking opportunities with the filmmakers.

The film festival received just about 250 submissions, not just from our area but from around the United States. They had to narrow that down to showcasing just 98 of those films and 18 of them are local.

“We are so excited to bring you another year of beautiful films and empowering stories," said Ethan de Aguiar, Founder and President of the New Bedford Film Festival.

This sounds like a truly excellent opportunity to not only see the works of some of our SouthCoast talent but also get to meet and mingle with them. Who knows, it may inspire you to create a masterpiece.
