Black Bear Film Festival

Description

Black Bear has been welcoming filmmakers for over two decades to share their stories in the beautiful Delaware River town of Milford in the PA/NY/NJ tri-state area at the historic Milford Theater and other notable locations of Milford heritage. Inspired by a history of filmmaking in the area, the Board of Director's mission for this nonprofit organization is to promote and celebrate independent film, encouraging artistic expression and discussion. We take a special interest in aspiring filmmakers and supporting their growth in the industry by offering opportunities to screen, meet fellow filmmakers, and win recognition for their work. Our community welcomes filmmakers to speak about their films and interact with audiences during Q&A sessions at the Milford Theater and mingle with film lovers at the Salon presentations that take place a few steps away. Some special areas of interest for Sunday Salons are community connections with our local Tri*Versity chapter screening LGBTQ+ related films and a focus on conservation and nature issues at the impressive Grey Towers National Historic Site, the home of Gifford Pinchot and the American conservation movement. The festival begins on Opening Night on Friday, 10/9 with film screenings all day Saturday and Sunday at the theatre and various Salon locations in town. Join us for an amazing weekend of film fun in the beautiful town of Milford this fall.
