Welcome

There’s always something brewing at the Connecticut Film Festival. Whether it’s a storm of new filmmakers or CTFF’s “24 Hour Cup O’ Joe” filmmaking competition, festival planners work hard to keep it fresh and bring you the best in cutting edge film exhibition, music performances, education and of course, PARTIES!

The City of Danbury will be the second stop of the 2012 season and promises to be Danbury’s Best CT Film Fest yet. More than 75 films will be screened during the 4-day and night festival accompanied by more than a dozen film and new media workshops and panel discussions.

Opening Night is Thursday, April 26th at the iconic Palace Theatre in downtown Danbury, where stars, industry professionals and festival guests will stroll the red carpet before the press and paparazzi to the waiting VIP reception prior to the opening night film. Then, after a brief Q&A with the filmmakers, The Melissa Mulligan Band will rock the house at our annual Danbury Opening Night Party in The Palace Theatre’s Grand Lobby featuring the totally excellent epicurean styling’s of executive chef Michael Bick’s: “Somethings Fishy Catering” and the best beers of Connecticut's very own independent and innovative brewery; Thomas Hooker Beer.
