Brookfield FILM FESTIVAL

---

Brookfield is a town in Fairfield County, Connecticut, situated within the southern foothills of the Berkshire Mountains. The two largest lakes in Connecticut border the Town, Candlewood Lake to the west and Lake Lillinonah to the east. Brookfield is located 43 miles northeast of New York City, making it part of the New York metropolitan area. The Brookfield Film Festival takes place in the historic Brookfield Theatre for the Arts. 

Brookfield Film Festival was created to provide a platform for local filmmakers to introduce their work and discuss topics from their films as well as the filmmaking process. We also feature two blocks of Oscar nominated short films. The festival is run by the Brookfield Arts Commission which is an all volunteer organization. All proceeds from the film festival go to "The Brookfield Arts Commission Arts Scholarship Award". This scholarship is awarded yearly to a graduating high school student from Brookfield, CT pursuing a degree in the arts.

Now in our 19th year, the Brookfield Film Festival features nine blocks.
