With City Lights/Bridgeport Art Trail as our fiduciary partner, the Bridgeport Film Fest is making “philanthropy through film” a priority in Bridgeport, CT. This nonprofit initiative is dedicated to the discovery, championing  and development of independent filmmakers and audiences.

Through various year round programming including an annual three day in-person and virtual festival in September and a variety of popup film screenings at the Connecticut State Community College at Housatonic, the BFF seeks to showcase, guide and inspire independent film and theatre artists from the Bridgeport community and beyond. Local audiences will be enriched by the films, workshops, panels discussions and other forms of artistic expression curated by the festival team and will ensure the promotion of Bridgeport to continue to thrive as a cultural artistic center!
